Description
This book deals with the problem of 'synthetic compounds' which has attracted much attention and controversy in the fields of English language and general linguistics. The author appraises four recent theories of the morphological mechanisms involved in synthetic compounding in English and, using comparisons from other languages, explores the significance of the shortcomings in these theories in relation to the general theory of lexicalist morphology.
