A Study on Compound Substantives in English
From the INTRODUCTION. The object of the present study is to examine - morphologically and semologically - appellative compound substantives, both of whose members are substantival, occurring in the different periods of the English language. In defining the term compound word two things are needful - in the first place to differentiate them from syntactical word-groups, in the second place to differentiate them from simple words. The latter demarcation is simple enough, theoretically; as to the difficulties attending the carrying out in practice of the principles established, see Chap. i. NOREEN puts it thus (Vart Sprak VII 20): a compound word is such a word as can be broken up into parts, which severally refer to some independent sense-unit existing in the languages. By this definition derivatives as well as obscured compounds are excluded. As for distinction from derivatives see Paul, Prinzipien p. 322, Sweet, N. E. Gr. § 69, TOBLER, Wortzus. p. I, Brugmann, Grundriss p. 5, and others.
