{"product_id":"oxford-handbook-of-compounding-9780199219872","title":"Oxford Handbook of Compounding","description":"This book presents a comprehensive review of theoretical work on the linguistics and psycholinguistics of compound words and combines it with a series of surveys of compounding in a variety of languages from a wide range of language families. Compounding is an effective way to create and express new meanings. Compound words are segmentable into their constituents so that new items can often be understood on first presentation. However, as \u003cem\u003ekeystone, keynote\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003ekeyboard\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003ebreadboard, sandwich-board\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003emortarboard\u003c\/em\u003e show, the relation between components is often far from straightforward. The question then arises as to how far compound sequences are analysed at each encounter and how far they are stored in the brain as single lexical items. The nature and processing of compounds thus offer an unusually direct route to how language operates in the mind, as well as providing the means of investigating important aspects of morphology, and lexical semantics, and insights to child language acquisition and the organization of the mental lexicon. This book is the first to report on the state of the art on these and other central topics, including the classification and typology of compounds, and approaches to cross-linguistic research on the subject from generative and non-generative, synchronic and diachronic perspectives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rochelle Lieber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e OUP Oxford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/25\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 712\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.62h x 7.29w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199219872\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRochelle Lieber \u003c\/strong\u003eis Professor of Linguistics in the English Department of the University of New Hampshire.
