Possessive Words
Possessive pronouns such as "my" change meanings depending on whether you say "my owner," "my wife," "my dog," or "my boot." The meaning could range from possession (the boot that is the property of the speaker) to mere association (the spouse that is the one associated with the speaker). The speaker's usage also changes depending on culture, such as in the subjugation of women. Have you thought about this? There is also a difference between "my mentality" and "my glove," in that one of them is an inalienable possession that you can't lose without changing who you are, and another is the type of possession you can steal or give away. One of the many things I like about the planned language Lojban is that it has separate words for all of these. Studying Lojban is a mind trip.
