English
Etymology
Noun
binom (plural binoms)
- (linguistics) A compound word.
- 1975, Samuel Elmo Martin, A Reference Grammar of Japanese; republished Honolulu: University of Hawaiʻi Press, 2004, →ISBN, page 766:
- Where you would expect to hear AN na N you may instead find, especially in written Japanese, AN no N. The latter, somewhat stiffer, version appears to enjoy particular favor when the AN is a binom of Chinese origin modifying another Chinese binom and the two words are either optionally combinable into a compound noun (by dropping the copula nó/ná together with its juncture and applying the proper accentuation) or look as if they might easily so combine.
- 2013, P. Kümmel, Formalization of Natural Languages[1], →ISBN:
- It a meaning is expressed in a particular language like English with the help of a binom, newspaper, and in another particular language like German by a mononom Zeitung, the heteronomic morphology is usually more voluminous (9 phonograms against 7).
- 2015, Haruo Kubozono, Handbook of Japanese Phonetics and Phonology, →ISBN, page 419:
- The prototypical Sino-Japanese word is a binom, that is, a word written with two kanji, each kanji representing a Sino-Japanese morph. It is not difficult to find examples of rendaku affecting Sino-Japanese binoms, and a few are listed in (23).
Usage notes
This term is used primarily by linguists studying Asian languages, where the kanji (or hanzi, etc) representation of the word is constructed from the analogous representations of the two constituent parts.
