Conceptual combination is the process of combining information from two (or more) individual concepts to generate a new concept, as in, for example, combining what is known about dog and house to generate doghouse. This process is important in its own right, as it provides the basis for the process of compounding (i.e., the creation of multi-morphemic words, a common word formation process in many languages, see e.g., Libben & Jarema, 2006). Conceptual combination is also interesting in that 1) it provides information about the adequacy of theories of individual concepts in the sense that theories of concepts need to be able to provide the underpinnings necessary to account for conceptual combination and 2) it provides information about the relation between the language system and the conceptual system, because much conceptual combination occurs in the context of producing and interpreting noun phrases. The ultimate goal of this research project will be the creation of a more complete theory of relational interpretation of conceptual combinations. "Relational interpretation" refers to the fact that conceptual combinations (including compound words) are often paraphrased using relational links such as house FOR a dog, as the paraphrase for doghouse, or virus that CAUSES flu for flu virus (see, e.g., Estes, 2003, Gagné & Shoben, 1997; Wisniewski, 1997). This work has the potential to identify fundamental underlying processes of conceptual access and language comprehension.

概念组合是来自两个（或更多）个单个概念的评论过程，以产生一个新概念，因为它对狗和房屋的生成狗屋很重要，因为它提供了复合的过程（即创建多型单词，例如Libben＆Jarema，2006年）。 2）在生产和解释名词短语的背景下，语言系统和概念系统之间的关系。作为狗的房子，作为狗屋EE的释义，例如Estes，2003年，Gagné＆Shoben，1997年； Wisniewski，1997年）。
