“…What Bauer (2008) calls the exocentric type is not only semantically but also categorially exocentric. It is a bit odd to have an "exocentric" type within a class whose defining characteristic is exocentricity, but the concept of "exocentric exocentrics" is bound to emerge due to the widely recognized fact that the exocentricity in compounding is not monolithic but determined by several parameters (Namiki 2001;Bauer 2010bBauer , 2022Nóbrega and Panagiotidis 2020). In Section 1, the exocentricity of dvandvas as a class was determined based on the "Z is a type of X/Y" headedness test, that is, semantic exocentricity.…”

Broadly speaking, binominal and biverbal lexical constructions have been studied independently in different research traditions and frameworks. It is true that the two do not necessarily have overlapping areal distributions, but the fundamental question remains whether Indo-European NN compounds and Transeurasian VV compounds have nothing in common. Against this background, a cross-categorial comparison, not within but across languages, is made of coordinative binominal and biverbal constructions. NN and VV coordinate compounds from English and Japanese are examined in detail using the methodology of contrastive morphology and decompositional lexical semantics. It is shown that dvandva is possible not only in NN but also in VV coordinate compounds and, furthermore, that the dvandva–appositive distinction in NN coordinate compounds recurs in VV coordinate compounds. Cross-categorial formal analyses of the two types, i.e., dvandva and appositive, are presented in the Lexical Semantic Framework.

“…the Righthand Head Rule in Williams (1981:248). See Kageyama (1982) and Namiki (2001) for the argument that the Righthand Head Rule holds in Japanese as well as in English. See also Zwicky (1985), Trommelen and Zonneveld (1986), and Scalise (1988and Scalise ( , 1992 for the notion of ''head of a word '' in English,Dutch,and Italian,respectively.…”
