名词合并也许是所有形态过程中最接近句法的。对大量地理上和基因上不同的语言的这种现象的研究表明，在语法和形态学不同的地方，合并是一种可靠的形态学手段，它派生出词汇项，而不是句子。它有四个不同但相关的用途；这些都属于隐含的等级制度，这反过来又表明了合并历史发展的道路。不同语言间词缀产出的差异表明，这一发展可能在任何时候被阻止——要么导致这一过程最终消失，要么作为一种词缀生产体系重新出现
State University of New York, Albany Noun incorporation is perhaps the most nearly syntactic of all morphological processes. Examination of the phenomenon across a large number of geographically and genetically diverse languages indicates that, where syntax and morphology diverge, incorporation is a solidly morphological device that derives lexical items, not sentences. It is used for four different but related purposes; these fall into an implicational hierarchy which in turn suggests a path along which incorporation develops historically. Differences in its productivity from language to language show that this development may be arrested at any point-resulting either in the eventual disappearance of the process, or in its resurgence as a productive system of affixation.*
