More about the book
The paper explores the cognitive processes behind word-formation, specifically focusing on compounding, which involves creating new words by combining existing ones. It traces the evolution of this process through Old, Middle, and Early Modern English, highlighting the structural features of compounds. The work categorizes different types of compounds, including nominal, adjectival, verbal, and synthetic forms, as well as exceptions like neoclassical, copulative, and exocentric compounds. The analysis concludes with reflections on the significance of compounding in linguistic development.
