    The compounding is a fundamental process of word formation and its importance to our understanding of language is crucial. The study of compounds for the last few years has been at the centre of attention in such areas of linguistics as computational approaches, psycholinguistics and language acquisition.

The paper attempts to answer some basic questions pertaining to lexical creativity in nominal compounding in Italian sports column.
