| Abstract | How does the brain combine two or more words in order to obtain another word? It is only in the past two decades that systematic investigations of this fundamental cognitive ability have begun to appear in neuroscience. Most studies have concerned clinical cases of aphasia and other deficits resulting from brain damage (e.g. neglect). Only in a minority of cases has research been conducted instead with neuroimaging (fMRI) and neurophysiological methods (ERPs, eye movements). All these studies have provided notions that are believed to usefully integrate what is known from psycholinguistics. The main findings can be summarized as follows: 1. The knowledge of compound status, compound structure and compounding rules is represented independently from knowledge of the phonological word form (the "compound effect"). 2. Even opaque compounds seem to undergo decomposition, although some particular compound categories may not. 3. Gender assignment mechanisms (rule-, semantically-, and lexically-based) are represented independently from each other. 4. If no other factor intervenes, the compound components seem to be retrieved simultaneously. 5. All meaningful representations (of whole word and of its components) seem to be activated in retrieval, possibly based upon what Libben (2006) calls "maximization of opportunity". 6. Convincing evidence for the psychological and neural reality of headedness has been collected; a compound's head plays a special role in the processing of a compound word, the neural underpinnings of which are just beginning to be understood.
