'Inalienable possession' is the linguistic term referring to a relationship of possession in which the possessor and possessed cannot be easily conceived of separated from each other; the most typical nouns considered to be inalienable refer to body parts, clothing, and other personal possessions. This dissertation studies the syntactic means utilized to express possession of inalienable nouns in Spanish and Romanian from two theoretical vantage points, focusing on the alternation between two means of indicating possession: the possessive adjective and the possessive dative; this latter term refers to a dative object pronoun which is co-referential with the understood possessor. No definitive analysis exists within the literature on this topic, nor have previous investigations presented more than a cursory analysis of limited empirical data. First, a formalist analysis, within the framework of the Chomskyan Principle and Parameters model, proposes an account of how the possessive dative structure is possible, given that dative complements are not allowed in non-possessive contexts. In this account, it is argued that the possessive dative arises from two properties of these languages: one, that the dative object pronouns are agreement features borne by the verb, and two, that both genitive and dative possessors must originate in the same structural position. The second theoretical analysis of inalienable possession in Spanish and Romanian, based on a functional-typological approach, demonstrates through the statistical analysis of empirical data that the alternation of possessive adjectives and possessive datives is highly influenced by the semantics of the verb and noun classes and the grammatical function of the possessed noun.
