Abstract
The chapter presents and illustrates examples of the processes of composition, in the creation of adjectives. Adjectives are created by pure composition more often than nouns, the productive are, in particular, coordinative compounds (less common are determinative compounds).
Determinative compounds are in the chapter presented by the first part (the names with the noun, adjective, pronoun, numeral in the first part) and further classified semantically: the names of the properties according to the relation to the action or substance. The concept and classification of compounds in this grammar comes from their word-formation structure, i.e. in terms of functionally structural, not genetic aspect.
The proportion of composition in the language expression of the concept, its system character, variability and update modifications are monitored, as evidenced by the occurrences of compounds in the current usage (based on excerpts from the Czech National Corpus).
