SUBSTANTIVES — COMPOSITION
91
C. Composition.
I. Adjectives form connections with substantives,
adjectives, pronouns, and sometimes other parts of speech.
The most important of these subdivisions consists of
compounds of substantives and adjectives.
This group again, has two subdivisions: either the
substantive serves to illustrate the quality that is expressed
by the adjective [type: honey-sweet], or the relation between
the two parts of the compound is a prepositional one [type:
rain-wet].
I begin with this latter group.
The preposition that is required in an analysis of the
compound may be of several different kinds. In the cases
quoted below, of, for, to, and with occur. The most usual
of these is with, denoting a causal or material relation.
Out of nineteen cases given here it is used in 11; of
occurs in 6; to and for each in one.
