• Resumen

  • The paper deals with some compounds like ›Augenblick‹ or ›Fuchsschwanz‹, among others, which have a figurative meaning as a whole word as opposed to the sum of both members: ›Augen‹ + ›Blick‹ = ›Moment‹. Besides, I will analyze whether this figurative meaning matches the meaning similitude of each member with respect to the whole word. It is shown that there are different types of nominal composition, that there is a gradation in the figurative meaning and that metaphors play an important role in this process.
