Feature Norms of German Noun Compounds
Stephen Roller, Sabine Schulte im Walde · 2014
This paper presents a new data collection of feature norms for 572 German nounnoun compounds.The feature norms complement existing data sets for the same targets, including compositionality ratings, association norms, and images.We demonstrate that the feature norms are potentially useful for research on the nounnoun compounds and their semantic transparency: The feature overlap of the compounds and their constituents correlates with human ratings on the compoundconstituent degrees of compositionality, ρ = 0.46.
