Abstract

This paper aims to propose some criteria to classify English coordinative compounds and reclassify English coordinative compounds based on the criteria. English coordinative compounds have been called different terms. Different names mean that the classification of coordinative compounds is unsettled. It has been assumed that the grammatical relations between the two constituents comprising compounds are not only subordinate or determinative, but also coordinative. However, the coordinative, especially what we call appositional compounds would be analysed as subordinative. In this paper a lot of English compounds which have been interpreted as coordinative(appositional) compounds are assumed to be subordinative rather than coordinative. And many so called coordinative compounds are subclassfied as additive and hybridity compounds based on the additional criteria of the coordinative compounds. This classification will help understand English coordinative compounds.
