[Corpora-List] English compound words

[John Newman]

I am making this inquiry to the list on behalf of a colleague who asks:
 
_____________________________________________________
 
I'm looking for a reasonably comprehensive list of English compound
words, whether spelled as two words, hyphenated, or spelled as one word.
Has anyone compiled such a list, or does anyone know of corpora from
which such a list might be straightforwardly extracted?
