This book presents a typological survey and analysis of the
co-compound construction. This understudied phenomenon is
essentially a compound whose meaning is the result of coordinating
the meanings of its components, as when in some varieties of
English 'father-mother' denotes 'parents'. During the course of the
book Dr W lchi examines and discusses topics of great theoretical
and linguistic interest. These include the notion of word,
markedness, the syntax and semantics of coordination,
grammaticalization, lexical semantics, the distinction between
compounding and phrase formation, and the constructional meanings
languages can deploy. The book makes many observations and points
about typology and areal features and includes a wealth of
unfamiliar data. It will be invaluable for typologists and of
considerable interest to a variety of specialists including
lexicologists, morphologists, construction grammarians, cognitive
linguists, semanticists, field linguists, and syntacticians.
