alienable (adj.)

A term used in GRAMMATICAL analysis to refer to a type of possessive relationship formally MARKED in some languages (e.g. Chinese). If a possessed item is seen as having only a temporary or non-essential dependence on a possessor, it is said to be ‘alienable’, whereas if its relationship to the possessor is a permanent or necessary one, it is inalienable. Distinctions of alienable possession (or alienability) are not MORPHOLOGICALLY marked in English, but SEMANTICALLY the contrast can be seen in the boy’s book (alienable) and the boy’s leg (inalienable).
