I've recently become interested in expressions such as ''beginner's course'' (although it can be debated to what extent this should be considered a compound) and ''course for beginners'' - in other words, compounds and nominal phrases which use more or less the same lexemes and have the same meaning. I would be very grateful if you could share with me any other comparable examples in English (svetoslava.antonova- baumannnorthumbria.ac.uk). Thank you very much for your help. Kind regards, Svetoslava Linguistic Field(s): Morphology                             Syntax Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue Page Updated: 01-Nov-2011       About LINGUIST    |   Contact Us       While the LINGUIST List makes every effort to ensure the linguistic relevance of sites listed on its pages, it cannot vouch for their contents.
