Conceptual combination is the process of combining information from two (or more) concepts to generate a new concept (e.g., combining dog and house to generate doghouse). Conceptual combination is interesting in that 1) it provides information about the adequacy of theories of individual concepts, in the sense that theories of concepts need to provide the underpinnings to account for conceptual combination, 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, and 3) it provides the basis for the creation of compound words, a common process in many languages.

概念组合是结合来自两个（或更多）概念的信息以产生新概念的过程（例如，将狗和房屋结合起来以生成狗屋）。概念组合很有趣，因为1）它提供了有关单个概念理论的充分性的信息，从某种意义上说，概念的理论需要提供基础来说明概念组合，2）它提供了有关语言系统之间关系的信息而且概念系统，因为许多概念组合发生在生成和解释名词短语的背景下，而3）它为创建复合词的基础提供了基础，这是许多语言中的常见过程。
