dc.description.abstract
What is semantic transparency, why is it important, and which factors
play a role in its assessment? This work approaches these questions by
investigating English compound nouns. The first part of the book gives an
overview of semantic transparency in the analysis of compound nouns,
discussing its role in models of morphological processing and differentiating
it from related notions. After a chapter on the semantic analysis of complex
nominals, it closes with a chapter on previous attempts to model semantic
transparency. The second part introduces new empirical work on semantic
transparency, introducing two different sets of statistical models for
compound transparency. In particular, two semantic factors were explored: the
semantic relations holding between compound constituents and the role of
different readings of the constituents and the whole compound, operationalized
in terms of meaning shifts and in terms of the distribution of specifc
readings across constituent families. All semantic annotations used in the
book are freely available.
