KLSD word-building(word-formation)

Classification by Word formation
word={simple word(단일어)}∪{complex word(복합어)}
{complex word(복합어)}={derived word(파생어)}∪{compound word(합성어)}


코웃음 코, 웃-, -(으)ㅁ
IC(Immediate continuents): 코+웃음 ⇒both two are lexical⇒compound word(합성어)
비웃음 비-, 웃-, -(으)ㅁ
IC:비웃-+-(으)ㅁ ⇒ one of IC has grammatical meaning⇒derived word(파생어)

감옥살이 감옥+살이
시집살이 시집+살이

words not easily analyzed by IC(compound word or derived word?)

해돋이, 고기잡이, 감옥살이

In terms of morph: 해, 고기, 감옥→해+돋이,고기+잡이

But 돋이, 잡이, 살이 don't exist
But 해(가) 돋-, 고기(를) 잡-, 감옥(에) 살-

Phrase as a Base Unit

• 꿩이밥(꿩의+밥), 닭의난초(닭의+난초), 김의털(김의+털) previous elements, botanical names, consist of phrases having noun+prenoun particle(관형격조사)+noun 
• 닭의똥, 닭의장, 닭의홰--not botanical but listed in a dictionary noun+prenoun particle  
• 젊은이(IC: 젊은+이), 길짐승(IC:길+짐승), 건널목(IC:건널+목) 젊은, 길, 건널 are 'verb or adjective stem+prenominal ending(관형사형 어미)', so strictly speaking, the unit is wider than a word, and though some immediate continuents are not in the unit of a word they can't be seen as derived words since they are not prefixes or suffixes. If they must be analysed, they are closer to compound word.
