Chapter 3. Interlocking paradigms in English compounds

Abstract

In this contribution, I consider the paradigmatic structure of compounds in English, showing that the various paradigms overlap and interlock, leading to a network of paradigmatic structures. I briefly consider the implications of such a structure for non-compound structures as well, and discuss how to deal with the productivity of paradigmatic structures in such a framework.
