Word composition
-
Word composition is the type of word- formation, in which new words are produced by combining two or more Immediate Constituents ( ICs), which are both derivational bases.
-
The Ics of compound words represent bases of all three structural types:
Bases that coincide with morphological stems Bases that coincide with word-forms Bases that coincide with word-groups
-
The bases built on stems may be of different degrees of complexity: Simple week-end 2) Derived letter-writer 3) Compound aircraft-carrier
-
The meaning of compound word is made up of two components: structural and lexical.
-
The structural meaning
The meaning of their distributional pattern fruit-market Market-fruit The meaning of their derivational pattern n+Ven Duty-bound Wind-driven
-
The lexical meaning
is formed on the base of the combined lexical meanings of their constituents. ex. Handbag is not “a bag designed to be carried in the hand” but “ a woman’s small bag to carry everyday personal item”
-

Coordinative compounds:
A) reduplicative : poof-poof, fifty-fifty B) compounds formed by joining the phonically variated rhythmic twin forms: chit-chat, zig-zag C) additive compounds: actor -manager
-
Subordinative compounds
Based on the domination of the head-member which is the second IC. ex. Stone-deaf, age-long
-
