摘要：

Compounds are constantly used in everyday language, which has a significant contribution to forming new words in Eng-lish. The meaning of a compound is not always the sum of its constituents, partly because some of those compounds bear metaphori-cal/metonymic sense. This article focuses on the study of the metaphorical noun-noun compounds and adjective-noun compoundsin English. Based on the semantic relationship between the compound and the constituents, and the parts that metaphorical senseoccurs in the compound, three main types of metaphorical adjective-noun compounds were identified.
