Abstract:

Are compounds words or phrases - or are they neither or both? How should we
classify compounds? How can we deal with the fact that the relationship
between the elements of sugar pill ('pill made of sugar') is different from
that in sea-sickness pill ('pill to prevent sea-sickness')? Are compounds a
linguistic universal? How much do languages vary in the way their compounds
work? Why do we need compounds, when there are other ways of creating the same
meanings? Are so-called neoclassical compounds like photograph really
compounds? Based on more than forty years' research, this controversial new
book sets out to answer these and many other questions.
