 Compound (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
English prefers another type of verb-noun compounds, in which an argument of the verb is incorporated into the verb, which is then usually turned into a gerund, such as breastfeeding, finger-pointing, etc. The noun is usually an instrumental complement.
Compound prepositions formed by prepositions and nouns are common in English and the Romance languages (consider English on top of, Spanish encima de, etc.).
Obviously, an endocentric compound tends to be of the same part of speech (word class) as its head.

 Handling Compound Nouns in a Swedish Speech-Understanding System - Carter, Kaja, Neumeyer, Rayner, Weng, Wiren (ResearchIndex)
As in our own work, compound words were splitted and the compound parts were incorporated into the lexicon, as well as in the...
Abstract: This paper describes and evaluates a simple and general solution to the handling of compound nouns in Swedish and other languages in which compounds can be formed by concatenation of single words.
The basic idea is to split compounds into their components and treat these components as recognition units equivalent to other words in the language model.

 Incorporation (linguistics) -
In many cases, a phrase with an incorporated noun carries a different meaning with respect to the equivalent phrase where the noun is not incorporated into the verb.
Incorporation is a phenomenon by which a word, usually a verb, forms a kind of compound with, for instance, its direct object or adverbial modifier, while retaining its original syntactic function.
Incorporation is central to many polysynthetic languages such as those found in North America and Siberia, but polysynthesis does not necessarily imply incorporation.

I show how this process - called Semantic Incorporation - captures the inherent narrow scope of incorporated nouns as well as their lack of a partitive and of a definite reading.
I defend the view that - like any other "narrow" indefinite - an incorporated noun and its external modifiers are interpreted as predicates.

I and others have defended the view that it is syntactic, with the incorporated noun counting as (part of) the grammatical object of the verb.
Then I will show how an understanding of the nonconfigurational syntax that is typical of languages having noun incorporation affects the logic of the arguments and their empirical predictions.
This enables the operation to have at least the same potential for linguistic application as Bouma's and Carpenter's definitions of typed default unification, but with the added advantage of being declarative.

This attachment is evidenced by the phonology; lenition will operate on the initial consonant of an incorporated noun, but not on the initial consonant of a noun which simply follows the verb as an object.
The suffix -sui is attached to the verb base; this is used mostly to denote abstract properties from stative verbs which can be inflected as nouns.
In others, the category will not change, but a new root is formed of the same category, such as process which derives causative, benefactive, or applicative verb roots from existing verbal bases.

 eG Forums -> Mignardises and Petit Fours
Petits fours is written in French with an "s" on the word "petit" because fours is a pural, male noun so the describing adjective must also be pural and male.
French requires this parallelism between nouns and adjectives -- English doesn't so it is OK to write "petit fours".
To me, "petits fours" has been incorporated into the English language and "mignardises" has not.

This volume presents "Semantic Incorporation" as an analysis accounting for many striking similarities between the semantic properties of incorporated nouns in West Greenlandic and bare plurals and split noun phrases in West Germanic language.
The inability of existing semantic theories of indefinites as well as current structural approaches to Noun Incorporation to account for the data observed is then explored, and finally, the work presents Semantic Incorporation as a subtheory of indefinites.

 Commerce, California - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is usually referred to as the "City of Commerce" to distinguish it from the common noun.

It is bordered by Vernon on the west, Los Angeles on the northwest, East Los Angeles on the north, Montebello on the east, Downey and Bell Gardens on the south, and Maywood on the southwest.

 Affix - QuickSeek Encyclopedia
Note how the lexical suffix may be translated as either "the baby" (definite) or "a baby" (indefinite): this change in definiteness is a common change in meaning that happens with incorporated nouns.
For instance, one of these languages may have a lexical suffix that means water in a general sense, but it may not have any noun equivalent referring to water in general and instead have several nouns with a more specific meaning (such "saltwater", "whitewater", etc.).
An affix is a morpheme that is attached to a base morpheme such as a root or to a stem, to form a word.

 Experimental Psychology Society - Meeting Programme January 2002

Experiment 2 showed that deaf, but not hearing children, incorporated the schematic mouth pattern when inferring desire.
A number of researchers have proposed that sentence comprehension is frequency driven, such that the ease of understanding a syntactic construction depends on its frequency of use (e.g., Mitchell, Cuetos, Corley, and Brysbaert, 1995).
