IMPORTANCE OF STUDYING COMPOUND NOUNS IN LINGUISTICS
Compound nouns are among the important fields in linguistics, since it helps establish the structure, meaning, and evolution of languages. In addition, that a compound noun contains at least two combined words making up a new lexical item represents the building block of word formation and semantic development in various languages. The current study will investigate the research of compound nouns as a form in linguistics from three dimensions: morphological, syntactic and semantic. This will enhance an understanding of the workings of compound nouns in various languages and, therefore, foster a better understanding of linguistic intricacy, cognitive processing, and even cultural nuance. Besides that, the study of compound nouns shows quite clearly the patterns of language change and adaptation, with their social and technological developments.
