Abstract
Although definitions of compounds differ, compounding is a crucial step in the development of new words in Germanic languages. While English compounds can be written as single words, hyphenated words, or phrases, German compounds are often written as single words. Both German and English have a large number of compounds that differ in their semantic 18 transparency, which affects how easily their meanings may be understood from their parts. Transparency has no effect on reading time for compounds that are written as two words, but it does when readers must piece together meanings for the compounds. Lastly, the data for the semantic transparency research were collected by using the digital corpora for English and German and then later classified into transparent and opaque depending on whether they are actual objects with literal meanings or objects with abstract meaning. Even though there are many opaque compounds in both languages, the German language exhibited greater number.
Abstract (croatian)
Iako se definicije složenica razlikuju, tvorba složenica ključan je korak u razvoju novih riječi u germanskim jezicima. Dok se složenice u engleskom jeziku mogu pisati keo jedna riječ, riječi sa spojnicom ili kao fraze, složenice u njemačkom jeziku često se pišu samo kao jedna riječi. Oba jezika imaju velik broj složenica koje se razlikuju u svojoj semantičkoj transparentnosti, što utječe na to Koliko se lako može razumijeti njihovo značenje. Transparentnost nema utjecaja na vrijeme čitanja složenica koje su napisane kao dvije riječi, ali ima kada čitatelji moraju sastaviti značenje složenica. Podaci za istraživanje o semantičkoj transparentnosti prikupljeni su korištenjem digitalnog korpusa za engleski i njemački jezik i kasnije klasificirani kao transparentni ili neprozirni prema tome jesu li stvarni predmeti s doslovnim značenjem ili imaju apstrakno značenje.
