Abstract:

This volume aims to carry out a comprehensive analysis of those nouns
within the structure of the noun phrase which are referred to as N+N
sequences (e.g. drug addiction, computer cluster). They are studied from
three perspectives, namely their status as syntactic constructs, their
evolution as becoming morphological items through a process of
lexicalisation - whereby they gradually acquire properties of a semantic,
morphological, orthographic and phonological nature -, and their use in
which several variables such as speech community, mode and textual category
are in operation. Additionally, this volume touches upon the problems in
establishing clear-cut boundaries between morphology and syntax in order to
define their status and evolution. A comprehensive corpus analysis rounds
off the study. 

Contents: English Noun Phrase Structure - Noun + Noun Sequences - English
Linguistics - Corpus Linguistics - Morphology - Syntax - Syntax-Morphology
Interface - Sociolinguistics - Lexicalisation - Gradience.

such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These

EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.
