The purpose of this study is to acquire a comprehensive understanding of compound words and compounding which is subject to phonological and morphological processes. For this purpose, the structure and type of compound words were examined in terms of their morphological or phonological properties. Next, the semantic annotations of compound words were investigated mainly with respect to the position and meaning relation of constituents, certain restrictions, and their solutions. Finally, the possible linguistic annotations on phonetics, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics were explored because they could be strongly related to many other linguistic properties of compounding processes. These reviews support the assumption that a wide range of annotations concerning compound words and compounding can provide some pedagogical implications for language researchers in terms of the successful language instruction as well as human being’s natural language acquisition.
