N2 - The paper examines the opposition of existential-possessive constructions with le- ‘to’, the inherited strategy in Hebrew for denoting possession, and similar constructions with ecel ‘at’. The latter, induced by several languages in contact with Hebrew throughout its history (Arabic, Yiddish, Russian), began to encroach upon the domain of the former at various stages of the language, including Emerging Modern Hebrew, but ended up being relegated to other functions. The paper surveys the functions of ecel in Modern Hebrew and examines the question of why this contact-induced construction did not become entrenched as the dominant existential-possessive construction.
