Abstract
This chapter summarizes research on the production, interpretation, and acquisition of noun-noun compounds. Analogical generalizations can systematically govern a whole category of words across different languages and language families. The same kinds of analogical generalizations are in evidence in different domains of languages processing, from language acquisition, to visual word processing.
