Compounding or composition is the word-formation process of creating compounds by combining or putting together lexemes.
Expressing compounds in the UNLarium
In the UNLarium framework, compounds are only expressed if the lemma is different from the base form, i.e., in case of discontinuous multi-word expressions or with infixation (such as "give in" or "take into account"). In this case, each member of the compound is to be expressed according to the corresponding syntactic role.
Examples
| Lemma | BF | Compound | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| give in | give | VH([in]) | "in" is to be added to the base form as part of the head of the verb (VH) |
| take into account | take | VA("into account") | "into account" is to be added to the base form as an adjunct to the verb (VA) |
| throw <person> to the lions | throw | VA("to the lions"), VC(NP) | "to the lions" is to be added to the base form as an adjunct to the verb (VA) and a noun phrase (NP) is to be added as a complement to the verb (VC) |
Observation
- Phrasal verbs
Particles of phrasal verbs must be represented as part of the head, if non separable, or as adjuncts, otherwise:
- give in = VH([in]); ("give in something" but
"give something in") - give back = VA([back]); ("give back something" or "give something back")
Syntax
Compounds may be explicitly expressed by S-rules, a formalism for describing the syntactic structure of phrases.
