I present evidence from a phonological process, tone 3 sandhi, to show that not all disyllabic words are learned as compounds by the speaker. The tone 3 sandhi rule takes any disyllabic words with the UR \/3-3\/and turns it into [2-3] in SR. I argue that learners do not always infer a \/3-3\/ UR from an [2-3] SR, and that many words listed as \/3-3\/ in the dictionary are actually stored as \/2-3\/ by the speaker. In particular, it is words that are not transparently compositional (e.g. animal and plant names, abstract nouns, place names) that are prone to this type of \u0093mis-learning\u0094. I show that a reduplication diagnostic on [2-3] SR items can tell us whether a disyllabic word is a compound or not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Boer Fu (MIT) Title: When is a compound not a compound?
