	Compound (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Obviously, an endocentric compound tends to be of the same part of speech (word class) as its head.
		In an exocentric compound, the word class is determined lexically, disregarding the class of the constituents.
		Compound prepositions formed by prepositions and nouns are common in English and the Romance languages (consider English on top of, Spanish encima de, etc.).

	d. Word Compounding. 8. Word Formation. The American Heritage Book of English Usage. 1996
		Compound adjectives formed with an adverb plus an adjective or a participle are often hyphenated when they occur before the noun they modify: a well-known actor, an ill-advised move, best-loved poems, a much-improved situation, the so-called cure.
		Many compounds of this type have become permanent and are therefore hyphenated whether they precede or follow the noun they modify: a well-worn shirt, his shirt was well-worn; the tongue-tied winner, she remained tongue-tied.
		Compound adjectives formed with a noun, adjective, or adverb and a present participle are hyphenated when the compound precedes the noun it modifies: a bone-chilling tale, two good-looking sons, long-lasting friendship.

		A solid compound word is thus a solid string of characters where the constituents of the solid compound word may be separated by hyphens or not.
		Furthermore, if the word type has been determined to be a solid compound word of a word class, its main division point is determined to be between the prefix and the suffix that have been found in the list of known prefixes and the list of known suffixes, respectively, for this word class.
		In addition to the known words, the list comprises an indication, for each known word, of whether the known word is a known solid compound word or not, and an indication, for each known solid compound word, of the location of its main division point.

	TMEP Section 1213.04, Compound Word Marks (BitLaw)
		It would not be appropriate to represent a compound mark as separate words unless it would be reasonable to conclude that the commercial impression of the mark is that of separable words.
		A compound word mark which is appropriately presented in a typed drawing as two or more separate words is not considered unitary per se and a disclaimer of unregistrable components may be required.
		When a compound word is formed by hyphenating two words or terms, one of which would be unregistrable alone, no disclaimer is necessary.

	Compounds in dictionary-based Cross-language information retrieval_revised
		Compound words have been discussed in the main forums for research and evaluation on cross-language information retrieval systems, the TREC conferences and the CLEF evaluation forum (1).
		Compounds where the meaning of the compound cannot be derived directly from the meanings of the components are opaque or non-compositional, e.g., the English word strawberry and the Swedish word jordgubbe (meaning strawberry).
		Compounds in German, Swedish and Finnish are usually translated into English using a phrase construction, e.g., the German compound Fussballweltmeisterschaft is translated as "world soccer championship", the Swedish Eutanasifall as "incidents of euthanasia", and the Finnish Tietokonevirus as "computer virus" (3).

		A compound word is a union of two or more words, either with or without a hyphen.
		A compound word conveys a unit idea that is not as clearly conveyed by separate words.
		The hyphen in a compound is a mark of punctuation that not only unites, but separates the component words, and thus aids readability and pronunciation.

		In practice, compound words rarely contain more than two or three bases, but if the person who coins the word wants to be very specific, she can add as many bases, prefixes and suffixes as he wants.
		Coordinate Compounds: In Coordinate Compounds all the bases are of equal importance in determining the meaning of the word.

		Complex compounds, compounds which have other compounds as constituents such as a novel creation like riceflour bagel, are also right-headed in that the whole compound is a noun because bagel which is a noun is its head and, in turn, riceflour is a noun because flour which is its head is also a noun.
		Semantically, both concatenated members of the compounds have predicative functions; and, their meanings are generally that the second verb describes the state of the subject, the object, or the event as a result of the action or process described by the first verb".
		If Chinese compounds are right-headed, then VR compounds constitute a class of counter-examples to this claim since most scholars who suppose them to be compounds suppose that it is their left-hand V constituent which is the head of the compound.

		Most words formed with prefixes are not hyphenated, unless a capitalized word follows the prefix or two identical vowels come together (though even here there are exceptions, like cooperate, coordinate, and preeminent).
		Unless the compound word is listed as a solid word (proofreader, crosswalk) or a hyphenated word (self-starter, cross-stitch), write it as two separate words (home base, cross section).
		Compounds that share the same word may be shortened as follows; note that the hyphen must remain attached to each prefix.

	Compound word spelling verification - Patent 4701851
		The number of operations required to break a compound word of this length at all possible break points, look up the resultant constituents, and possibly apply another level of parsing to one of the pieces is clearly quite large.
		Accordingly, a technique is employed in parsing compound words in which the input word is matched against dictionary words to determine if substrings of the input word match with words in the dictionary.
		In practice, for compound words the combination of the longest substring and the remainder of characters beyond the longest substring constitutes two words in the great majority of cases.

		All words of more than one syllable have what is called word stress.
		Similar to the rule for compound nouns, the first part of the compound--here, the first word--gets the stress.
		In English, there are many words which have the same spelling, but whose part of speech changes with the word stress.
