Lieber Rochelle, Štekauer Pavol (Editors). The Oxford Handbook of Compounding

Draft. 1118 pages.Our intention is to complicate our view both theoretically and descriptively. In terms of theory, we consider compounding from disparate frameworks, both generative and non generative, and from different perspectives: synchronic, diachronic, psycholinguistic, and developmental. Descriptively, we hope to sharpen our understanding of what constitutes a compound by looking not only at familiar languages, but also at a range of typologically and areally diverse languages. The two views are complementary.Introduction: Status and Definition of Compounding
