In the HAVE-construction the possessor equals the predicate and the possessee equals the subject (for more details see Ultan 1978e: 33-35).I don’t see the point. As I read it, the claim is that constructions like (i) are fine, and those like (ii) are out:(i) I have a cow.(ii) I am with a cow.But what’s wrong with (i); it’s found all over the place?
