- Abstract
This paper is both a linguistic study and a search for learning using word formation, such as English compound. Compound constructions are very common in everyday speech and all types of written texts. They have been selected for study because ELL (English Language Learners) often ignore them from their academic writing. The reasons for conducting such research are also linguistic and pedagogic in nature. ELL might find it difficult to cope with the complex constructions which might absent in their languages.
