The typological, contrastive, and descriptive studies in this
volume investigate the strategies employed by the world's languages
to create complex denotations by combining two noun-like elements,
together with the kinds of semantic relation they involve, and
their acquisition by children. The term 'binominal lexeme' is
employed to cover both noun-noun compounds and a range of other
naming strategies, including prepositional compounds, relational
compounds, construct forms, genitival constructions, and more.
Overall, the volume suggests a new, cross-linguistic approach to
the study of complex lexeme formation that cuts across the
traditional boundaries between syntax, morphology, and lexicon.
