This work approaches these questions by investigating English compound nouns. The first part of the book gives an overview of semantic transparency in the analysis of compound nouns, discussing its role in models of morphological processing and differentiating it from related notions. After a chapter on the semantic analysis of complex nominals, it closes with a chapter on previous attempts to model semantic transparency. The second part introduces new empirical work on semantic transparency, introducing two different sets of statistical models for compound transparency. In particular, two semantic factors were explored: the semantic relations holding between compound constituents and the role of different readings of the constituents and the whole compound, operationalized in terms of meaning shifts and in terms of the distribution of specifc readings across constituent families.English languageNounEnglish languageSemanticsLinguisticsNounSemanticsSynonym ringTransparency (linguistic)WordNetEnglish languageNoun.English languageSemantics.420.143Schäfer Martin1975-941445ES-MaCSIUkMaJRUBOOK9910284455303321The semantic transparency of English compound nouns2123642UNINA
