Word compounds in mental lexicon are phrasal verbs, adjectival collocations and other word combinations. Phrasal words are illustrated by the following example specially created for the demonstration purpose: Every time I try to talk up a new idea to my boss, he talks down to me, or talks around the issue. I can talk back to him but fail to talk him into anything. We can talk over and out (no words are left) the problem but here is no way to talk him round (make him change his mind). So we are just talking away (wasting time) I talk up (raise my voice) but we never come to talking through (consider the matter thoroughly). Word collocations can have connections between co-ordinates i.e. words that have a semantic relationship between them. E.g. fever – yellow, finger – green, mood – black, blood – red, colour – deep etc.
