For April 4th

  • Read pp.99–112 (end just before section 5.3)
  • Complete writing assignment #2:

Compounding is popular in food names, with examples including
“chicken nuggets,” “ribeye,” and “eggplant parmesan.” As with compound words in general, some food names are endocentric, and some are exocentric. (Ribeye is exocentric; the other two are endocentric.)

Find five compound words that name foods (other than the three listed above), and identify whether they are endocentric or exocentric. There must be at least one of each type. (So 4 endocentric and 1 exocentric, for example, would be okay.)

Then, show the structure for all five words in bracket notation. This may be handwritten or typed.

For this assignment, you don’t need to write 300 words – just provide the compound words, identify whether they’re endo- or exocentric, and provide bracket notation for each.
