THE SUBSTANTIVE SYNTAGMA IN AN ATTRIBUTIVE FUNCTION AND IN LEXICOGRAPHY PRACTICE
Abstract
The subject of the present article is the collocation NOUN + NOUN in English, as it is one of the most common ways to show the attributive relationships in this language. In terms of semantics, the studied substantive collocations (NOUN + NOUN) can be compared to attributive collocations (ADJECTIVE + NOUN), in which the relative derived adjective plays the role of an attribute, as it is in Bulgarian. An attributive syntagma (NOUN + NOUN), consisting of two nouns placed one after the other, expresses one notion, nevertheless such syntagmas were rendered in Bulgarian with a collocation of an adjective and noun (ADJECTIVE + NOUN), or even with one word. The results of this research can be applied in the practical mastering of English.
