Teor?a de la mezcla cognitiva y la Sem?ntica de l os compuestos

Description: Since Bloomfield (1935) separated compounds into two classes, ?endocentric? and ?exocentric?, the latter class has been left aside in many analyses. Is it necessary to continue use this terms? According to this analysis, it is not. Compounds show either a straightforwardmetaphorical or metonymical meaning, neither of these means that there is no head inside the compound. One way to analyze compounds that have been classified as ?exocentric? through blending theory, as already done in Benczes (2006). These compounds share metaphorical or metonymical nature that will be explained throughout. Blending theory alshelps explain the semantic relations there are between the modifier and the head of theconstruction. This will be studied by analyzing various compounds that contain the word miand that show different relations and meaning. This analysis will also help understand if metaphorical compound is semantically opaque, which according to this dissertation, is not the case.
