Why might English Learners be confused by compound words, when they understand the
meanings of the individual words?
A. For English Learners, nouns have a strong imagistic component. Juxtaposing two words, such
as sheepdog, causes confusion because they visualize two different objects superimposed.
B. The confusion comes in which word comes first. Why sailboat and not boatsail? Bookstore
and not storebook?
C. The confusion comes in why only certain combinations are permissible. If sheepdog is
acceptable, why isn't mousecat or singbird?
