复合词是人类语言的一部分。它们可能包括功能元素，例如格标记和介词，以及短语及其成分的顺序，虽然在给定语言中是严格的，但在跨语言上是不同的，如（1）中的示例所示。尽管化合物多种多样，但它们具有一些共同的基本特性。它们包括不止一种成分。它们是不透明的句法域。它们的语义不一定是组合的，并且它们的重音模式通常与单词或短语的重音模式不一致。
Compounds are a part of human language. They may include functional elements, such as case markers and prepositions, as well as phrases, and the order of their constituents, while being rigid within a given language, diVers cross-linguistically, as the examples in (1) illustrate. Notwithstanding their diversity, compounds share some basic properties. They include more than one constituent. They are opaque syntactic domains. Their semantics is not necessarily compositional, and their stress pattern does not generally coincide with those of words or phrases.
