Abstract The present study investigates Possessive Constructions and domains of possession in Kalhori Kurdish (KK) from a Cognitive Linguistics perspective to reveal the arrangement of constituents and relationships between the head (possessee) and dependent (possessor). This qualitative descriptive-analytical study collected data by interviewing KK speakers in Iran. The results indicate that KK speakers employ both the B-construction ( hin-e ) and Be-construction ( ha ) at the clause level to denote predicative possession characterized by −whole-part, −kinship relationships and +alienable ownership. Additionally, KK speakers were found to utilize the H-construction (/dire/) at the clause level associated with +whole-part, +kinship relationships and ±alienable ownership. KK speakers also employ possession splits in nominal/attributive possession by attaching the possessor, marked by the +human feature, to the possessee, marked by the ±human feature, as an affix.
