Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Romance Studies - Italian and Sardinian Studies, grade: 1,0, Ruhr-University of Bochum (BA Linguistics), course: Wordformation Processes, language: English, abstract: Verb-noun (V+N) compounds have long been the subject of much discussion due to their special status as a highly productive word formation pattern in Romance languages. Especially in Italian, French and Spanish, different aspects about V+N compounds have been widely discussed among linguists. This paper focuses on Italian V+N compounds (also briefly touching on French and Spanish), outlining the key aspects that have been cause for debate in the past and giving the commonly accepted interpretation of them. Furthermore, the final vowel of the verbal constituent of V+N compounds is discussed as the main existing analyses are presented and contextualized.
