Compounding in Distributed Morphology

The Distributed Morphology framework attemps to present a fully explicit, completely syntactic theory of word formation. Compounding, prima facie, presents a seemingly paradigm case of morphology-as-syntax. It is productive, and manipulates items which are canonically themselves free morphemes and clearly independent terminal nodes. As shown by Lieber (1992a), nominal compounding in English and other Germanic languages can even include syntactically complex phrases, as in the following four examples from Tucson Weekly Wlm reviews by James DiGiovanna:
