A Grammar of Sign Language of the Netherlands (NGT)

1.1.1.1. Semantic structure

 

From a semantic perspective, we can differentiate between compounds which have a compositional meaning that is predictable based on the meanings of the two elements that are combined (endocentricity, MORPHOLOGY 1.1.1.1.1) and compounds that do not have a predictable meaning (exocentricity, MORPHOLOGY 1.1.1.1.2). Note that this distinction is not only relevant for native compounds, and will also be applied to loan compounds (MORPHOLOGY 1.2), although there, the categories will not receive their own sections.
