Abstract
Most people will agree that there are two main types of compound words, endocentric and exocentric. Endocentric compounds are those where the rightmost constituent, called the grammatical head, is what defines the category of speech and the semantic interpretation of the word. exocentric compounds are generally believed to not be definable by either constituent and are therefore said to be headless.
