These types account for most compound nouns, but there are other, rarer types as well. Coordinative, copulative or dvandva compounds combine elements with a similar meaning, and the compound meaning may be a generalization instead of specialization. Bosnia - Herzegovina, for example, is the combined area of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but a fighter - bomber is an aircraft that is both a fighter and a bomber. Iterative or amredita compounds repeat a single element, to express repetition or as an emphasis. Day - by - day and go -go - go are examples of this type of compound, which has more than one head.

Analyzability may be further limited by cranberry morphemes and semantic changes. For instance, the word butterfly, commonly thought top be a metathesis for flutter by, which the bugs do, is actually based on an old bubbe - maise that butterflies are petite witches that steal butter from window sills. Cranberry is a part translation from Low German, which is why we cannot recognize the element cran (from the Low German kraan or kroon, "crane"). The ladybird or ladybug was named after the Christian expression "our Lady, the Virgin Mary".

In the case of verb + noun compounds, the noun may be either the subject or the object of the verb. In playboy, for example, the noun is the subject of the verb (the boy plays), whereas it is the object in call girl (someone calls the girl).

A black board is any board that is black, and equal prosodic stress can be found on both elements (or, according to psycholinguist Steven Pinker, the second one is accented more heavily.) A blackboard, compound, may have started out as any other black board, but now is a thing that is constructed in a particular way, of a particular material and serves a particular purpose; the word is clearly accented on the first syllable.

Sound patterns, such as stresses placed on particular syllables, may indicate whether the word group is a compound or whether it is an adjective - + - noun phrase. A compound usually has a falling intonation: "blackboard", the "White House", as opposed to the phrases "black board". (Note that this rule does not apply in all contexts. For example, the stress pattern "white house" would be expected for the compound, which happens to be a proper name, but it is also found in the emphatic negation "No, not the black house; the white house!").

Uzbek compound nouns.

Uzbek compound nouns are formed in the following ways:

1. Noun and noun: от?уло?, ?ўларра

2. Adjective + noun: кўксултон, хомток

3. Noun + adjectivesective: гулбеор, ошкўк

4. Number + noun: мингоё?, ?ир?о?айни, учбурчак

Following compound words are written without hyphen:

1) The nouns with one stress: гулкўрпа, ош?озон, ў?илон, тутмайиз.

2) Nouns + aр suffix: отбо?ар, из?увар

3) Geographical places: Сирдарё, О?тепа

German Compound nouns are formed in these ways:

1. Noun + noun: Infinitivform

2. Verb + noun: Leitglied

3. Noun + adjective: Kleinkind, Reinmetall, Hochstufe

4. Number + noun: Erststellung, Drittdro?e, Tausendfuss

5. Pronoun + noun: Ichton, Erform, Ichbewu?tsein

4. Time: Sonntagsanzug

5. Place: Dorfteich, Waldrande

2.3.2 Compound Adjectives

English compound adjectives are constructed in a very similar way to the compound noun. Black board jungle, gunmetal sheen and green monkey disease are only a few examples.

There are some similarities in forming English and German compound nouns: The components of some compound nouns may be joined with the help of linking consonant: English compound nouns statesman, sportsman nouns statesman, and sportsman are joined with the consonant "s".

German compound nouns are joined:

· with the help of linking element - "s" or "es"

die Arbeit + s + der Plan = der Arbeitsplan

das Land + es + die Grenze = die Landesgrenze

· with the help of " - in" or " - en".

der Student + en + die Versammlung = die Studentenversammlung

· with the help of linking element "e"

halt(en) + e + das Signal = das Haltesignal.

· without a' linking element:

der Tausch + der Wert = der Tauschwert.

But in Uzbek all compound nouns are joined together without any linking element.

A compound adjective is a modifier of a noun. It consists of two or more morphemes of which the left - hand component limits or changes the modification of the right - hand one, as in "the dark - green dress": dark limits the green that modifies dress.

Solid compound adjectives

There are some well - established permanent compound adjectives that have become solid over a longer period, especially in American usage: earsplitting, eye catching. However, in British usage these, apart from downtown, are more likely written with a hyphen: ear - splitting.

Other solid compound adjectives are for example:

· Numbers that are spelled out and have the suffix - fold added: "fifteen `fold", "six fold".

· Points of the compass: "northwest", northwesterly, "northwestwards", but not North -West Frontier.

Hyphenated compound adjectives

A compound adjective is hyphenated if the hyphen helps the reader differentiate a compound adjective from two adjacent adjectives that each independently modifies the noun. Compare the following examples:

· "acetic acid solution": a bitter solution producing vinegar or acetic acid (acetic + acid + solution)

· "acetic - acid solution ": a solution of acetic acid.

The hyphen is unneeded when capitalization or italicization making grouping clear:

· "Old English scholar ": an old person who is English and a scholar, or and old scholar who studies English

· "Old English scholar": is scholar of Old English

· "De facto proceedings" not (de - facto)

If, however, there is no risk of ambiguities, it may be written without a hyphen: "Sunday morning walk". Hyphenated compound adjectives may have been formed originally by an adjective preceding noun:

· "Round table" - "round - table discussion"

· "Blue sky" - "blue sky law"

· "Red light" - "red light district"

· "Four wheels" - "four wheel drive" (the singular, not the plural is used).

Others may have originated with a verb preceding and adjective or adv: "feel good" - "feel - good factor", "by now, pay later" - "by - now pay - later purchase".

Yet others are created with an original verb preceding a preposition:

· "Stick on" - "stick - on label"

· "Walk on" - "walk - on part"

· "Stand by" - "stand - by fare"

· "Roll on; roll off" - "roll - on roll - off ferry".

The following compound adjectives are always hyphenated when they are not written as one word:

· An adjective preceding a noun to which -d or -ed has been added as a past - participle construction, used before a noun:

o "loud - mouthed hooligan"

o "middle - aged lady"

o "rose - tinted glasses "

· A noun, adjective, or adv preceding a present participle:

o "an awe - inspiring personality"

o "a long - lasting affair"

o "a far -reaching decision"

· Numbers spelled out or as numerals:

o "seven-year itch"

o "five-sided polygon"

o "20th-century poem"

o "30-pice band"

o "tenth-story window"

· A numeric with the affix -fold has a hyphen (15-fold), but when spelled out takes a solid construction (fifteen fold).

· Numbers, spelled out or numeric, with added -odd: sixteen -odd, 70-odd.

· Compound adjectives with high- or low-: "high-level discussion", "low-price markup".

· Colors in compounds:

o "a dark-blue sweater"

o "a reddish-orange dress".

· Fractions as modifiers are hyphenated: "five-eight inches", but if numerator or denominators are already hyphenated, the fraction itself does not take a hyphen: "a thirty-three thousandth part".

· Fraction used as nouns have no hyphens: "I ate only one third of pie".

· Comparatives and superlatives in compound adjectives also take hyphens:

o "the highest-placed competitor"

o "A shorter-term loan".

· However, a construction with most is not hyphenated:

o "The most respected member".

· Compounds including two geographical modifiers:

o "Afro-Cuban"

o "African-American" (sometimes)

o "Anglo-Asian"

· But not

o "Central American".

The following compound adjectives are not normally hyphenated:

· Where there is no risk of ambiguity:

o "a Sunday morning walk"

· Left-hand components of a compound adjective that end in -ly that modify right-hand components that are past participles (ending in -ed):

o "a hotly disputed subject"

o "a greatly improved scheme"

o "a distantly related celebrity"

· Compound adjectives that include comparatives and superlatives with more, most, less or least:

o "a more recent development"

o "the most respected member"

o "a less opportune moment"

o "the least expected event"

· Ordinarily hyphenated compounds with intensive adv in front of adjectives:

o "very much admired classicist"

o "Really well accepted proposal".

English compound adjectives are formed:

1. Adjective + noun: blackboard

2. Adjective + adjective: blue-green, dark-red, light-green.

3. Adjective + verb: highlight

4. Adjective + preposition: forthwith.

In Uzbek compound adjectives are formed in the following way:

1. Noun + noun - these adjectives are written separately: ?аво ранг, кул ранг

2. Adjective + noun - these adjectives are written as one word: ?имматба?о

3. Noun or adverb a verb with the suffix "ap": тезо?ар, эрксевар, ме?натсевар

But these adjectives are hyphenated when we translate it into English: ме?натсевар - hard-working, эрксевар - peace - loving and etc.

4. Noun + "apo" word: хал?аро as in English international.

There are a group of words which form compound adjectives, such as: аралаш, йў?, кўл, олий, оч, тў?, тўла, чала: ?умаралаш лой, тенги йў? ?из, кўп тармо?ли со?а, олий маълумотли, оч ?изил, ?орни тў?, тў? ?изил.

In English we can also find the signal words which form compound adjectives; but they are hyphenated: light, dark, long, middle, high: e.g. light - green, dark-blue, middle-aged, long-legged, and high-qualified.

German compound adjectives are formed like English compound adjectives.

1. Adjective + adjective + Adjektive = shwarzweissrot.

Deutsch + usbekisch = deutsch - usbekisch

2. Hell + grun = hell - grun. As in English light - green

3. Adjektive + Adverb = bekannt + in der Welt = Wellbekannt

машхур + дунёда = дунёга машхур

hart + wie Stahl = Stahlhart

?атти? + пўлатдай

This kind of adjectives always express comparison rot + wie ziegel = ziegelrot - красный как кирпич

blau + wie himmel = himmelblau - синий как небо

But in English “as … as” is used to show comparison: as blue as the sky

2.3.3 Compound Verbs

In Uzbek compound verbs are formed by joining two words:

1. Verb + noun - verb word: дам олмо? (to rest), ?имоя ?илмо?(to defend), пайдо бўлмо?(to appear).

Some of them are synonyms to simple verbs:

ёрдам бермо?, = ёрдамлашмо?, - to help - to give a hand

2. Verb + verb = сотиб олмо?, чи?ариб олмо?, ютиб олмо?.

Some verbs such as ў?иб чи?ди, кўриб бўлди, бошлаб юборди are not compound verbs in speech. They have no a new lexical meaning.

Verbs which are considered compound , may not be a compound verb in English and German:

му?окама ?илмо? - to discuss (simple verb)

?олиб бўлмо? - to win

In German the main word of compound verb is the second word, but modifying one will be:

· Noun:

teilnehmen - ?атнашмо?

rad fahren - велосипедда учмо?

· Adjective:

fertigmachen-tayorlamoq, oxiragacha bajarmoq.

festhalten - ushlamoq.

leichtfallen - oson bo`lmoq

· Verb: kennenlernen - знакомитъся.

2.3.4 Classification of compound Words Based on Correlation

· According to the type of correlation all productive types of compound words may be classified into four major classes:

1. Adjectival-nominal compounds comprise four subgroups of compound adjectives-three of them are proper and one derivational, they are built after the following formulas and patterns:

· a, b) the n+a formula, e. g. snow-white, colour-blind, journey-tired correlative; with word-groups of the A + as+N,. A +prp+N type, e. g. white as snow, blind to colours, tired of journey. The structure is polysemantic;
