Finnish has morphologically bound possessive suffixes which are hosted by the possessed nouns. These suffixes interact with syntactically independent genitive pronouns and lexical nouns in a complex way. The analysis presented here is based on previous Lexical-FunctionalGrammar (LFG) analyses of subject and object 'spro-drop' phenomena. The bound morphemes have for theory-internal reasons previously been assumed to correspond to dual functions: a pronominal function and an agreement function. The Finnish data provide new, empirical evidence for this dual function.
