Major Types of Word-formation

  • Compound words are words consisting of at least two stems which occur in the language as free forms.
  • Most compounds have the primary stress on the first syllable, e.g., blackboard.
  • Compound adjectives and numerals have two primary stresses, e.g. hot-tempered, new-born, seventy four, ninety one.

Major Types of Word-formation

  • Compounds are binary in structure (consist of two or more constituent lexemes), e.g., vacuum-cleaner manufacturer vacuum-cleaner and manufacturer, while vacuum-cleaner → vacuum and cleaner.
  • Compounds usually have a head constituent. It is a part of the word which determines the syntactic properties of the whole lexeme, e.g. snow-white → the noun snow and the adjective white. White is the head constituent of snow-white.

Major Types of Word-formation

  • Compound words can be found in all major syntactic categories:
  • · nouns: sunlight, longboat;
  • · verbs: window shop; safeguard;
  • · adjectives: duty-bound, ice-cold;
  • · prepositions: into, onto, upon.

Major Types of Word-formation

  • Morphologically compounds are classified according to the structure of immediate constituents:
  • · consisting of simple stems: strawberry, blackbird;
  • · where at least one of the constituents is a derived stem: gascooker, mill-owner;
  • · where one of the constituents is a clipped stem: V-day, Xmas;
  • · where one of the constituents is a compound stem: football player, wastepaper basket.

Major Types of Word-formation

  • Structurally compounds can be:
  • words which are formed by a mere juxtaposition, i.e. without any connecting elements: e.g. saleboat, schoolboy, heartbreak, sunshine;
  • stems which are connected with a vowel or a consonant placed between them: e.g. salesman, handicraft.
