Current views of conceptual combination postulate that novel phrases are interpreted by linking one constituent to another via a relation. For example, robin snake might be interpreted as "a snake that eats robins." Two studies examined the generality of this relation linking view by examining interpretations of novel noun-noun combinations. The results provide support for the relation linking view but suggest other ways that novel phrases are interpreted. In particular, the first study suggested that people commonly use a strategy called property mapping, in which they assert that a property of the modifier concept is true of the head noun, e.g., interpreting robin snake, as "a snake with a red underbelly." A second study showed that high similarity between the two nouns strongly predicts when people will map properties. I propose an extension to current models of conceptual combination in which property mapping is carried out by a comparison process. @ 1996 Academic Press, Inc.
