Subject:Needs resources on noun-noun compounding in Arabic

Ahlan everyone,

I need resources on how noun-noun compounding is formed in Arabic. I am
examining how native speakers of (Egyptian) Arabic would deal with the
difference between "a cup of coffee" and "a coffee cup". I understand that
iDaafa can be used in both cases to say فنجان قهوة and that the second
could be rephrased into فنجان للقهوة. But I need to cite resources.
A cross-linguistic analysis would be ideal, but any other directions would
be equally appreciated.

Alf shukr!

Nesrine
