2. 
   Compare the following points of view and express your attitude towards them. Which of the statements show better the features of compounding? Make your own definition of the term “compounding”.
   

Compounding (or word-composition) is a productive type of word-formation. Compounds are made up by joining together at least two stems, mostly stems of notional parts of speech. Compounds have different degree of complexity: they may consist of simple and derived stems.


"Word-compounding is a process similar to but not the same as telescoping or blends; two words are joined, but compounding differs in that no part of either word is lost, ex. blackbird, bookcase, in the examples the elements have been fused, making one word". (I.K.Sheard).


"Compound words are words consisting of at least two stems which occur in the language as free forms. In a compound word the immediate constituents obtain integrity and structural cohesion that make them function in a sentence as a separate lexical unit".(Arnold I.V.)


"Word-composition" or compounding is a distinct type of words made up by joining together two stems (mostly stems of notional parts of speech)"(Ginzburg R.S. and others).

3. 
   How compounds can be classified. Memorize from the lectures according to which criteria compounds can be distinguished in the groups. Illustrate the classifications on the blackboard or in PPP (power point presentation). Fill the tables, where necessary with definitions or examples.
   

4. 
   There is a classification of compounds according to the patterns: N + N - pencil-case [N + (V + er)] - peace-fighter [N + (V + tion/ment)] - office-management, price-reduction.
