Abstract:

What is semantic transparency, why is it important, and which factors play a
role in its assessment? This work approaches these questions by investigating
English compound nouns. The first part of the book gives an overview of
semantic transparency in the analysis of compound nouns, discussing its role
in models of morphological processing and differentiating it from related
notions. After a chapter on the semantic analysis of complex nominals, it
closes with a chapter on previous attempts to model semantic transparency. The
second part introduces new empirical work on semantic transparency,
introducing two different sets of statistical models for compound
transparency. In particular, two semantic factors were explored: the semantic
relations holding between compound constituents and the role of different
readings of the constituents and the whole compound, operationalized in terms
of meaning shifts and in terms of the distribution of specifc readings across
constituent families.
