The properties of the words as the basic units of the language

27)Word-combination (compounding) as a word-building process in modern English?
Compounds are written sometimes as one word (sunglasses), sometimes as two hyphenated words (life-threatening), and sometimes as two separate words (football stadium). Compounding is the most common type of word-formation in English.
Types of Compounds
Compounding exists in several different forms and parts of speech, including the following:
Compound Adjective
Compound Adverb
Compound Noun
Compound Tense
Compound Verb
Exocentric Compound
Rhyming Compound
Root Compound and Synthetic Compound
Suspended Compound
Examples and Observations
"Compounds are not limited to two words, as shown by examples such as bathroom towel-rack and community center finance committee. Indeed, the process of compounding seems unlimited in English: starting with a word like sailboat, we can easily construct the compound sailboat rigging, from which we can, in turn, create sailboat rigging design, sailboat rigging design training, sailboat rigging design training institute, and so on."
28)What is the peculiarity of blending as a means of word formation?
The use of blending is common in
creating advertisements due to its unique properties and its ability to attract attention. It
is hoped that the results of this research are significant enough for those learning
linguistics, especially of morphology as the science of word-formation.Blending is a process of word formation which can be considered a subclass of phrases. A
compound is formed from two (or more) meaningful words, and semantically these are
synonyms of one of the constituent elements, or erased by some paradigm element. However,
unlike compound words, the formation of compound words is limited by several phonological
restrictions given that the resulting formation is a single word. Specifically, the blend tends to
be the same length as the longest of its constituent words and retains the default stress of one
of its constituent words.
Certain patterns are observed with respect to the order of the word in the mixture (e.g., shorter
first, more frequent first), at the location of the turning point, i.e., at another location (usually
at syllable boundary or at syllable boundary). Mixed patterns may relate to the recognition of
mixed words. In blending, the fusion of sight and sound is reflected at the semantic level.
Mixture usually refers to a breed of animals (e.g. Zorse, a breed of zebras and horses), an
interlingual diversity (e.g. a mix of French Francis and anglais means a mix of French and
English), or a mixture of other types ( Example: skort is a type of clothing that has both skirt
and short characteristics).
