Problems for Discussion

1. Criteria for distinguishing a compound word from a word phrase (graphical, phonetical, morphological, semantic).

2. Structural classification of compounds from the point of view of their immediate constituents (ICs).

3. Derivational types of compounds: compounds proper and derivational compounds. Derivational patterns of compounds proper: n+n dress-maker, a+n bluebell, v+n flywheel, adv+n in-patient, prt+v upkeep, prt+n onlooker, num+n two-step, v+v hearsay, v+adv(a) standstill, n+a pea-green, adv+a upright, a+a white-hot, a+adv nearby, v+n hangdog, n+(v+-en) tongue-tired, prt+(v+-en) bygone, adv+(v+-en) freshly-lit, prt+(v+-ing) outstanding, n +(v+-ing) peace-loving, adv+(v+-ing) far-seeing.

4. Derivational patterns of derivational compounds: (v+prt)+0 lay-off, (v+-er)+prt passer-by, (v+-ing)+prt summing-up, (num+n)+-er four-wheeler, (a+n)+-ed simple-minded, (n+n)+-ed life-sized, (num+n)+-ed four-footed, (v+prt)+0 knock-about, (v+-en)+prt worn-out, (adv+n)+-ed down-hearted. Productivity and activity of derivational patterns.

5. Compounds proper and derivational compounds vs. derivatives built on a compound derivational base.

6. Syntactic relations between the constituents of a compound word (resemblance, relations of purpose, place, time, partitive, instrumental, possessive, agentive relations, etc.).

7. Semantic classification of compounds: non-idiomatic (motivated), partially idiomatic (partially motivated) and idiomatic (non-motivated) compounds.
