Compounds have often been noted to straddle the boundary between “words” and “phrases,” having some amount of internal structure (Scalise and Vogel 2010).On the one hand, compounds have the characteristics of “words.” As a start-ing point, we can define a compound as a word which consists of two or more words (Fabb 1998). Compounds often have a meaning which builds on one, but not the other, of its elements, e.g., television stand, which is a type of stand, not a type of television. Alternatively, compounds may have a meaning which is dis-tinct from the mere sum of their parts (though still somewhat compositional, even if it is not fully predictable, as Fabb notes), e.g., blackboard, which refers not to any kind of black-colored board, but to a board used as a writing surface, which may or may not be black, on which one writes with chalk. Compounds may also involve bound roots, such as Latin or Greek affixes or roots in English used in established words like biology from bio- ‘life’ and -(o)logy‘study of,’ or used productively in novel words like Pieology (a pizza restaurant name; ‘study of (pizza) pie’), or as in Sino-Japanese root compounding, like seibutugaku‘biology’ from sei ‘life,’ butu ‘thing,’ and gaku ‘study.’On the other hand, compounds may also have the characteristics of “phrases,” which may include phonological, morpho-syntactic, and semantic character-istics. Morpho-syntactically speaking, while short compounds like blackboardmay be argued to be lexically listed and thus more easily identified as single lexical unit “words,” it is more difficult to argue the same for larger compounds,e.g., college entrance examination study guide, a type of guide, not a type of col-lege, entrance, examination, or study, which are clearly constructed from the combination of smaller elements and are unlikely to be listed. Importantly,compounds can be formed freely and readily in this way (Bauer 2003). In terms of phonological characteristics, Chomsky and Halle (1968) noted that some compounds have a special compound stress on the first element, as in ólive oil, while others appear to have the nuclear stress pattern associated with phrases, such as apple píe, which has a primary stress on the second, final ele-ment, much like the phrase He’s shý.
