LOPEZ-ASTORGA, Miguel. Compound nouns do not always fulfill the conjunction thesis: An analysis using the mental model theory. Leng. [online]. 2021, vol.49, n.2, pp.484-496. Epub 07-Jul-2021. ISSN 0120-3479. https://doi.org/10.25100/lenguaje.v49i2.9365.
This paper is intended to show that the properties classical logic attributes to conjunction are not always found in real compound nouns in natural language. This fact is described by means of several examples taken from different natural languages. The main conclusion is that perhaps a better option to understand human language and communicative phenomena is to assume a basically semantic approach with the mental model theory proposed as a more suitable alternative. This is because the fact that the logical properties that are not always present in real compound nouns is not considered a problem under the framework of this theory.
