Abstract

Compounding is one of of the most productive and flexible word formation processes in German, yet it represents a challenge for German learners by virtue of its heterogeneous semantics and morphological complexity. This paper examines, on the basis of corpus data, how advanced German learners employ compounding in practice, how learner usage of compounding differs from native usage, and what types of compounds can be distinguished in these respects. The analysis of the data shows that much like their native counterparts, learners acquire very many semantically distinct compounding constructions at all levels of abstraction, which can be described as a hierarchical constructional network. Although advanced learners produce remarkably few formal errors in compound formation it will be shown that compounding occurs significantly more rarely and is used substantially less productively in learner data as compared to native controls, and that learners have added difficulties in the formation of especially deverbal compounds with internal argument structure.
