Abstract
Inalienable possession is a specific relation between two objects, the possessor and the object possessed(the possessee), for example a human body and its part, head. Inalienable possessive object is the possessee in the inalienable possession. In normal situations, inalienable possessive objects cannot be separated from their possessors. In this report, mainly about Japanese and the Ainu language, and from a point of view of the contrastive study of world languages, we consider the fundamental categories of inalienable possessive objects and patterns of expressions for inalienable possession in texts. Patterns of expressions for the possessors and the possessees in some languages are compared and the results are listed. We also consider some factors to control the generation of the expressions.
