Conceptual combination is the process of combining information from two (or more) concepts to generate a new concept (e.g., combining dog and house to generate doghouse). Conceptual combination is interesting in that 1) it provides information about the adequacy of theories of individual concepts, in the sense that theories of concepts need to provide the underpinnings to account for conceptual combination, 2) it provides information about the relation between the language system and the conceptual system, because much conceptual combination occurs in the context of producing and interpreting noun phrases, and 3) it provides the basis for the creation of compound words, a common process in many languages.

概念组合是将来自两个(或多个)概念的信息组合在一起以生成一个新概念的过程(例如，将狗和房子组合以生成狗舍)。概念组合的有趣之处在于：1)它提供了关于单个概念理论充分性的信息，因为概念理论需要提供解释概念组合的基础；2)它提供了关于语言系统和概念系统之间关系的信息，因为许多概念组合发生在产生和解释名词短语的语境中；3)它为复合词的创造提供了基础，这在许多语言中都是一个常见的过程。
