520 This dissertation explores genitive class selection of
genitive case subjects in nominalizations and relative
clauses in Hawaiian. The amount of research in the area of
Hawaiian's a- and o-class is far from sufficient. Since
Wilson (1976a), there has been minimal critical new
inquiry to a- and o-class in Hawaiian. Schutz et al.
(2005) and Wong (2006) are the latest to mention a- and o-
class in their respective works. Genitives in Hawaiian are
normally analyzed as possessives first, and every other
use thereafter. We illustrate here that the genitive class
has two usages, possession and subject marking. We
approach genitive subjects by looking at genitive subject
selection and then provide sample applications of the
findings to possession. To arrive at our findings we
explore syntactic, semantic, pragmatic, and discourse
factors in a- and o-class genitive subject selection. Our
first finding here illustrates that the a- and o-class
genitive subject relationship is not dichotomous. O-class
is the unmarked category since it occurs in every subject
category. A-class is the marked category. Our second
finding is that a-class is used only with agentive
subjects and marks the subjects as essential and/or
foreground information within a narrative context. The
findings ultimately illustrate that a-class selection is
based on pragmatic and discourse needs as determined by
the speaker, where a-class marking is used to express that
some genitive subject's action is important to the
narrative and its progression
