Dear all,
My name is Svetoslava Antonova-Baumann and I am a PhD student at Northumbria University researching the relationship between concepts expressed by compounds versus those expressed by nominal phrases. 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- baumann@northumbria.ac.uk). Thank you very much for your help. Kind regards, Svetoslava |
