The author conducts a thorough analysis of the semantic and syntactic features of these pronouns, revealing how their meanings can extend beyond the traditional notion of ownership to encompass a wider range of semantic nuances, such as characteristics, properties, and relationships. By examining a variety of linguistic contexts, the study illuminates the versatility of possessive pronouns in Ukrainian and provides valuable insights for editors and language learners alike. 2024 1 4 10.37068/evu.16.11 https://evu.encyclopedia.kyiv.ua/article/138 https://evu.encyclopedia.kyiv.ua/doi/10.37068/evu.16.11.pdf Vyhovanets, I. & Horodenska, K.
