Over the last decades, it has been hotly debated whether and how
compounds, i.e. word-formations, and phrases differ from each
other. The book discusses this issue by investigating compounds and
phrases from a structural, semantic-functional and, crucially,
cognitive perspective. The analysis focuses on compounds and
phrases that are composed of either an adjective and a noun or two
nouns in German, French and English. Having distinguished compounds
from phrases on structural and semantic-functional grounds, the
author claims that compounds are by their nature more appropriate
to be stored in the mental lexicon than phrases and supports his
argument with empirical evidence from new psycholinguistic studies.
In sum, the book maintains the separation between compounds and
phrases and reflects upon its cognitive consequences.
