  2. The components of Compounding words:

  3. To combine between such two elements, we have to take in consideration the relationship: • Syntactic relationship:like part of speech, co-ordination, verb and object, qualifier and noun, adverb and noun ,denoting the subject or the object. • Semantic relationship: denoting place or time, purpose, means or instrument, resemblance, and sex.

  4. Compounds formationTypes of Compound nouns: • Solid or Closed form: consists of monosyllabic units. • Examples: lawsuit, wallpaper, makeup. • Hyphenated form: two or more units are combined by hyphens. • Examples: good-for-nothing, salt-and-pepper. • Opened or Spaced form: long words such as : distance learning, player piano, lawn tennis.

  5. Analyzability: ( Transparency): • The meaning of the compound can be analyzed in different ways: 1. The relationship is attributive. The meaning of a compound noun is a specialization of the meaning of the head. The modifier limits the meaning. (endocentric compounds) Example: blackboard. 2. The relationships are expressed by prepositions, there is no obvious semantic head. (exocentric compounds) Examples: Footstool, armchair, office manager. 3. The meaning could be a generalization when the meaning could be induced from both units. Example: fighter bomber: it is an aircraft which is both fighter and bomber.

  6. Compound Adjectives:It is a modifier of a noun. It consists of two or more morphemes where the left-hand morpheme narrows or changes the modification of the right hand one. Types of Compound adjectives • Solid modifiers: • Overtime usage: earsplitting, eyecatching , downtown. • Number with fold as a suffix: sixfold, fifteenfold. • Points of compass: northwest, northwester

  7. Compound Verbs • It is usually composed of a modifier and a verb. The modifier is usually a preposition but it can be an adverb, an adjective, a noun • Examples: Overrate, downsize, whitewash, browbeat.

  8. Phrasal verbs: They are a combination of verb and prepositions. A phrasal verb is used in an idiomatic, figurative or even metaphorical context. The meaning of each word cannot be determined separately. Examples: Give in, find out, look after, blame on, serve as, look up to, etc.
