Abstract Working within the framework of Distributed Morphology (Halle and Marantz 1993, 1994), this paper offers a derivational analysis of the range of structures and the types of idiosyncrasy associated with compounding. Building on prior analysis by Harley (2009), compound structures are argued to vary according to the ways in which the head and the non-head of a compound are categorised. Specifically, if the non-head of a compound is acategorial, then the relationship between the compound head and non-head is non-decomposable. Based on data from Hebrew (Borer 2009), it is shown that this also makes the non-head inaccessible to independent syntactic-semantic operations, including coordination, and coreference with a pronoun. It is additionally shown that morphologically-conditioned allomorphy (Bobaljik 2012) may be conditioned between the compound head and a suffix, as constitutes part of a bracketing paradox (Williams 1981). Where categorisation of the head of the compound gives rise to effects of headedness, however, this allomorphy may be ‘blocked’ by the structure associated with exocentricity. The final sections of the paper consider exocentricity, and other interactions between idiosyncratic meanings and phonology, in further detail.

化合物，可组合性和形态特质

摘要在分布式形态学的框架内（Halle and Marantz 1993，1994），本文对与复合相关的结构范围和特质类型进行了推导分析。在Harley（2009）的先前分析的基础上，人们认为化合物的结构会根据化合物的头部和非头部的分类方法而有所不同。具体地，如果化合物的非头部是分类的，则化合物的头部与非头部之间的关系是不可分解的。根据希伯来语的数据（Borer，2009年），表明这也使非头部无法进入独立的句法语义操作，包括协调和与代词的共指。另外表明，形态条件化同质异形体（Bobaljik 2012）可能在复合头和后缀之间形成条件，这是构成包围悖论的一部分（Williams 1981）。但是，如果化合物头部的分类引起头部的影响，则这种同形异形可能会被与外心度相关的结构“阻止”。本文的最后部分将更详细地讨论中心外性以及特质含义与语音之间的其他相互作用。
