CLASSIFICATION OF COMPOUNDS IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK
Keywords:
lexical unit, unexpected sunbeam, structural cohesion, semantic relationship, suitable material.Abstract
Compound words are words consisting of at least two stems which occur in the language as free forms. In a compound word the immediate constituents obtain integrity and structural cohesion that make them function in a sentence as a separate lexical unit. The structural cohesion and integrity of a compound may depend upon unity of stress, solid or hyphenated spelling, semantic unity, unity of morphological and syntactic functioning or, more often, upon the combined effect of several of these or similar phonetic, graphic, semantic, morphological or syntactic factors.
