Language dynamics and structured community setup communication requires a close examination of how agreement and directionality of possessives are construed in main stream pragmatics. This paper investigates the types and distribution of possession markers in Metaꞌ, - a Grass-fields Bantu language of the Momo subgroup community in the North-West Region of Cameroon. It examines the nature of the Metaꞌ possessives or possession markers in general, with particular attention on its possessive determiners as portraying some complexity in structure and distribution. This situation leads us to question whether possessives in Metaꞌ are pre-modifiers or post modifiers to nouns and to further examine what accounts for the different positions occupied by possession markers in this language. The study further argues that the post-nominal position of possessive determiners is as a result of focus on the head noun and asserts that, the co-occurrence of two possessive determiners in Meta’ is as a result of emphases or the fact that they do not modify the same noun.
