{"product_id":"9783111080758","title":"Tri-Constituent Compounds : A Usage-Based Account of Complex Nominal Compounding by Elisabeth Huber","description":"This book provides a usage-based perspective to the study of multi-word compounding, analyzing the structural, functional and cognitive aspects of tripartite compounds (e.g. day care center, football game, hotel bedroom). It highlights the heterogeneity of these word-formation products, but also carves out surprising differences to two-word compounds. In order to reveal the step from two-word compounding to multi-word compounding, the book explains why only some compounds are used productively for the formation of more complex compounds. Building on the idea of entrenchment, it provides a theoretical account that allows understanding speakers' ability to produce multi-word compounds.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56310025027957,"sku":"9783111080758","price":100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9783111080758.jpg?v=1762814309","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9783111080758","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
