In the main part of the article, it is claimed that the emergence of specialized possessive constructions can also be explained as a functional, speaker-oriented preference, based on different needs in terms of information structure. It concerns the hypothesis that the possessive construction types are correlated with different word order arrangements. A case study examining the relative frequency of word order patternsfor each construction type corroborates this assumption. Specifically, for dative external possession, the emergence of the construction can be explained as a discourse preference of speakers to employ the possessor in the topic and the p
