Subject:  Bahuvrihi vs. exocompounds

Dear linguists,

While studying bahuvrihi compounds in English I have dug out some
problems. One of them is non-existance of a clear definition and
criteria for the phenomenon. In some papers I've found that bahuvrihi
and exocentric compounds are the same. Others say that bahuvrihi are
used to denot persons, animals (plants) and things only. And what
about phenomena? And can they denote only concrete objects or may be
abstract as well?

I would be very much obliged to all who can clerify the point.

Hi,
I'am looking for electronic archives of corpora for ROMANIAN first language
acquisition (bilingual or not). CHILDES doesn't have them, as to my knowledge.
Anybody aware of such corpora can contact me at coene at uia.ua.ac.be
Thanks!
