![]() ![]() Second, it emphasizes the importance of compound families and subfamilies in SCs’ formation and interpretation. First, it argues that SCs have an ambiguous nature, hovering between (a) morphological suffixation of a verb/word group and (b) morphological derivation and subsequent compounding. ![]() ![]() Unlike previous approaches ranging from a purely syntactic treatment of SCs to a more lexical treatment, this study aims at providing a novel explanation for these complex formations. For this purpose, four formal families of English non-Latinate synthetic compounds sharing their second base and three Latinate families have been investigated. This article studies the role of synthetic-compound families, both formal families and their semantic (or rather conceptual) subfamilies, in the analysis of synthetic compounds (SCs). ![]()
