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. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"de Gruyter Mouton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45165065568407,"sku":"9783111629209","price":1595.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783111629209.webp?v=1768572990","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/tri-constituent-compounds-a-usage-based-account-of-complex-nominal-compounding-9783111629209","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
