	TITLE OF ARTICLE	Types of comound words in the speech. Jaqsilikov Atabek group 215. 2^nd year student of the Foreign Language ​​and Literature department Berdakh Karakalpak State University
	ABSTRACT:	The author analyzes the types of compound words in English and compares them with words of a similar structure in other languages: Karakalpak, German.
	KEY WORDS:	compound words, components, lexical meaning
	INTRODUCTION:	In linguistics, a compound is a lexeme (less precisely, a word or sign) that consists of more than one stem. Compounding, composition or nominal composition is the process of word formation that creates compound lexemes. Compounding occurs when two or more words or signs are joined to make a longer word or sign. A compound that uses a space rather than a hyphen or concatenation is called an open compound or a spaced compound; the alternative is a closed compound.Compound words are two or more words that function as a single unit of meaning. Their rules can be complicated and hard to remember. For example, is it book store or bookstore? There are three types of compound words. Closed compounds – flowerpot, keyboard, notebook, bookstore – mesh two words together. Hyphenated compounds – mother-in-law, merry-go-round – not surprisingly use a hyphen between two or more words, often to prevent ambiguity. Open compounds – school bus, living room – are commonly used together but are written with a space in between. Whether a compound word is properly open, closed or hyphenated may depend on whether it’s used as a noun, adjective or verb. Compound words are motivated through the individual lexical meanings of their components and the meaning of the structure. In motivated compound words the native speaker can see a connection between the lexical meanings of the stems and the meaning of the order and arrangement of components of the word. Motivation in compound words varies in degree. There are compounds which are completely motivated, i.e. the lexical meaning of these words is transparent and is easily deduced from the lexical meanings of the stems and the meaning of their distributional formulas.
