- W4293861018 abstract "Compounding is a fundamental word formation process that allows language users to combine concepts to express new ideas, such as lockdown or open access. Here, we look at compounding from the perspective of language evolution. We investigated compounds vis-à-vis the rest of the mental lexicon, comparing words that are used to form compounds against those that never occur in compounds. We found that words featuring in compounds are more frequent, more concrete, shorter, acquired earlier and have higher orthographic neighbourhood density. These findings are in line with the idea that form accessibility is a driving force in the formation of new expressions (Harmon & Kapatsinski, 2017). In addition, we investigated how head (e.g., plane in airplane) and modifier (e.g., plane in airplane) differ in their lexical properties, finding that the modifier was on average longer and more related to the meaning of the compound word than the head, as well as being characterized by lower orthographic neighbourhood density. This fits the view that the modifier adds specific information that modulates the interpretation of the head. We discuss the implications of our results for theories of language evolution and the role of frequency and concreteness as drivers of language change." @default.
