Generating novel compounds

Abstract

This study involves the implementation of familiar compound nouns into python programming language with the intention of obtaining novel compounds. Python is a program that is a means of processing natural language. A compound noun is made up of two words; the first word being the modifier and the second, the head. With the help of python programming, the modifier is replaced with other terms. These terms can be classified as: either sister, associated or random terms. Such terms will be explained into detail in this study. The extracted and new compound nouns are then introduced to the public to be able to determine how plausible and the level of creativity exerted from such compounds. In this way, we can determine the differences and similarities in language.
