The current research is primarily devoted to outlining word-formation trends in compounds. Despite many efforts made by various linguists, word-formation still remains an uncharted area. The merit of this article lies in detailed exposition of some important problems connected with compounding in English and Armenian. Based on a contrastive approach, the main focus of the discussion will be to show both allomorphic and isomorphic features of typologically different languages in patterning compounds.
