This article is a descriptive study on the attributive possession system in the brazilian sign language, based on the analysis of data collected in the field, in videos received from the WhatsApp and from a corpus of jokes circulating among the deaf. According to the data analysis, possession in Libras occurs through (i) possessive pronoun; (ii) the OWN sign; and (iii) juxtaposition. In the article, we describe these strategies and present some articulatory and syntactic patterns related to the construction of tenure.
