4 Abschnitte1 Karteikarten-Decks1 Quizze
A cross-linguistic survey of compounding, the word-formation process by which two or more free lexical items combine to form a single, typically unitary, lexeme. The topic examines the typology of compound types (endocentric, exocentric, copulative), headedness and the Right-Hand Head Rule, the phonological and syntactic diagnostics used to distinguish compounds from phrases, and the striking variation in compounding productivity and structure across the world's languages.
