For example. road-building, baby-sitter, woman-doctor.
Subordinative compounds may be syntactic which depends on syntactic rules. For
example. mad-doctor, bluebell, a slow-coach (adj-r-n) and asyntactic. For
example. red-hot, oil-rich, long-legg'ed (adj-adj) there is no syntactic rule and it
does not depend on the syntactic rules.
Many compounds are polysemantic. Etc. the verb to whitewash has the
following meanings:
1) make white with whitewash
I) to glass or cover up vices, crimes etc.
But their polysemy is not based on the polysemy of their constituents. They
develop a polysemy of their own.
