Copulative compounds: a closer look at the interface between syntax and morphology

Handbooks on synchronic word formation usually group compounds into three major classes that were of concern for historical linguistics, mainly because of their importance for the grammar of Sanskrit.1 These are the determinative, copulative and possessive patterns illustrated in (la–c) respectively with English examples.
