“…On the other hand, Booij (2005) views compounding as the combination of two constituents or words, where one modifies the meaning of the headword. However, Marchand (1967) argues that compounding is not a kind of word formation, and only derivation and expansion are the two primary ways of word formation. Lieber & Stekauer (2011) note that it is challenging to come up with a universal definition of compounding, as compound constituents are sometimes stems or roots in some languages, not separate words, and it can be difficult to distinguish between compound words and phrases or derived words.…”

For adequate comprehension, second language (L2) learners need knowledge of 98% of the words in a text (Hu & Nation, 2000;Schmitt et al., 2011). However, vocabulary coverage studies used to support these findings have often excluded words such as proper nouns, 'marginal' words, acronyms/abbreviations, and compounds (e.g. 'playground').Compounds cover 1.2% of COCA corpus texts (on average), suggesting a significant role in reading comprehension (this study). Accordingly, a large 'Yes/No' test dataset (Brysbaert et al., 2021) was used to examine the degree to which 3345 compounds from Nation's 'Baseword 33 -transparent compound' list are recognized by L2 English speakers as compared to their constituent stems (i.e., 'play' & 'ground') of each compound. Results revealed that compounds are recognized as English words far less than either stem constituent. Prototypical compound examples from the results are presented, and the implications for teaching and learning, and future research are also discussed.

La population francophone, à vrai dire bilingue, ne représente qu’une faible minorité du Manitoba. Elle lutte pour sa survie linguistique depuis plus d’un siècle. Dans ce contexte, chaque communauté, chaque village connaît des évolutions différenciées, pour résister, et développer l’économie locale. Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes est un village comptant environ 600 habitants, situé dans le sud-ouest du Manitoba. Malgré sa taille, il fournit un grand nombre de services à un territoire large mais sous-peuplé. Sa chance est d’être éloigné de Winnipeg, la capitale provinciale. Son dynamisme peut s’expliquer par la capacité d’initiative et de demande sociale, traditionnelle, de ses habitants, mais aussi par la force de leur histoire et de leurs représentations collectives. Ces dernières sont basées, aujourd’hui encore, sur leur culture francophone, leur fournissant une conscience particulière et les mobilisant pour continuer à exister dans l’avenir. Pour autant, malgré les succès institutionnels des vingt dernières années, l’ensemble reste fragile.
