1. Laurie Bauer, Compound nouns.
2. BROADWELL GEORGE AARON, language and dialect

Apologies, I must have missed the request for bibliographical material on
compound nouns. Perhaps it happened before I subscribed to LINGUIST! Anyway,
I include some extra references. This is clearly not an exhaustive list of
references. There are none of Eve Clark's paers on the acquisition of
compounds, for example, listed here, none on the phonological aspects of
compounding, none on compounding in Scandinavian languages specifically, and
very few on lexicalist analyses of compounding. For what it is worth:
