Coordinating compounds, i.e. complex word forms in which the constituent lexemes are in a coordination relation, may be divided into two classes: hyperonymic, in which the referent of the whole compound is the “sum” of the meanings of the constituent lexemes (Korowai  yumdefól  ‘(her) husband-wife, couple’; van Enk, Gerrit J., &amp; Lourens de Vries. 1997.  The Korowai of Irian Jaya: Their language in its cultural context . Oxford: Oxford University Press: 66), and hyponymic, where the compound designates a single referent having features of all the constituents (English  actor-director ). It has been proposed that languages choose either type as the one with the “tightest” marking pattern; whereas the crosslinguistic tendency is to have tighter hyperonymic compounds, most languages of Europe rather have tighter hyponymic compounds (Arcodia, Giorgio Francesco, Nicola Grandi, &amp; Bernhard Wälchli 2010. Coordination in compounding. In Sergio Scalise &amp; Irene Vogel (eds.),  Cross-disciplinary issues in compounding , 177–198. Amsterdam &amp; Philadelphia: John Benjamins). In this paper, we will test this assumption on noun-noun compounds in a sample of 20 Standard Average European languages and in a balanced sample of 60 non-SAE languages, arguing that the preference for hyperonymic compounds is best explained by the default referential function of nouns; in hyponymic compounds, on the other hand, nouns are used to indicate properties. We will then compare nominal and adjectival coordinating compounds, showing that for the latter the hyponymic compounding pattern is the dominant one, as adjectives are prototypical property-denoting words.
