The first in-depth study of the way languages can use a noun, as opposed to an adjective, to modify another noun. It surveys a wide range of languages and provides a detailed, explicit theoretical analysis of a range of previously unexplored constructions. It will be of interest to scholars and students of syntax, morphology and semantics.
