a strategy in which an object in an ownership, body part, kinship, etc., relation – that is, a relation typically expressed in a possessive modification construction – to a participant in an event (normally in the P role or sometimes the S role of the event) is expressed with a possessive modification construction, even if the object in that relation is also itself a participant in the event. Example: in Mokilese ngoah insigeh-di kijinlikkoan-oaw nih-mw 'I wrote a letter to / for you', nih-mw [clf-2sg.poss] 'your' is a possessive modifier of kijinlikkoan-oaw 'a letter', even though the addressee is also a central participant in the transfer event. This Mokilese example is also an instance of the internal recipient strategy, but the internal possessor strategy also includes the expression of objects in an ownership, etc., relation that are not (necessarily) also participants in the event. The adnominal possessive strategy is also an instance of the internal possessor strategy. (Section 7.5.3)
