Contents:
Frontmatter -- Contents -- Exploring complex lexemes cross-linguistically -- Part 1: Form (morphosyntactic strategies) -- Defining and typologizing binominal lexemes -- Binominals and construct marking -- Compounds and other nominal modifier constructions in Pama-Nyungan languages -- New types of binominal lexeme in Anindilyakwa (Australia) -- Binominals in Äiwoo: Compounds, possessive constructions, and transitional cases -- NN.gen and NArel juxtapositions in Polish: Syntactic schemas employed in building phrasal nouns -- The derivational use of classifiers in Western Amazonia -- Binominals denoting instruments: A contrastive perspective -- Part 2: Meaning (semantic relations) -- Hatcher-Bourque: Towards a reusable classification of semantic relations -- Binominal strategies and semantic correlations in Turkic languages -- A classification of compounds in Karachay-Balkar -- Binominal lexemes in Moksha and Hill Mari -- Part 3: Acquisition -- Binominals and potential competitors in language development: Evidence from Swedish -- List of contributors -- Index of Subjects -- Index of Languages
Summary: The typological, contrastive, and descriptive studies in this volume investigate the strategies employed by the world’s languages to create complex denotations by combining two noun-like elements, together with the kinds of semantic relation they involve, and their acquisition by children. The term ‘binominal lexeme’ is employed to cover both noun-noun compounds and a range of other naming strategies, including prepositional compounds, relational compounds, construct forms, genitival constructions, and more. Overall, the volume suggests a new, cross-linguistic approach to the study of complex lexeme formation that cuts across the traditional boundaries between syntax, morphology, and lexicon.
