On the Semantics of Slovak AN compound adjectives

Résumé

The aim of this paper is to identify the semantic constraints involved in a Slovak morphological rule forming compound adjectives. The proposed corpus-based analysis follows the theoretical framework of Lexeme-Based Morphology (Aronoff 1994; Booij 2002; Fradin 2003) and focuses on Slovak compound adjectives formed with a base adjective (BsA) and a base noun (BsN). Three types of semantic relations between: (i) both component lexemes, (ii) AN adjective and the noun it modifies in a NP, the so-called head noun (HdN), and (iii) BsN and HdN in AN-HdN sequences are examined. Surveying these three sets of relations enables us to identify the semantic constraints imposed by the corresponding Slovak compounding rule. The constraints that are put forward are able to describe accurately all the examined lexemes and are applicable to new-coined AN found on the Internet.
