A Dvandva (Sanskrit: dvandva "pair") is a linguistic compound in which multiple individual nouns are concatenated to form an agglomerated compound word in which the conjunction 'and' has been elided to form a new word with a distinct semantic field. So, for instance, the individual words 'brother' and 'sister' may be agglomerated to 'brothersister' to express "siblings". The grammatical number of such constructs is often plural or dual. The term dvandva was borrowed from Sanskrit, a language in which these linguistic compounds are common. * Dvandvas also exist in Avestan, the Old Iranian language related to Sanskrit, as well as in numerous Indo-Aryan languages descended from the Prakrits. Several far-eastern languages such as Chinese, Japanese, Atong (a Tibeto-Burman language of India and Bangladesh) and Korean also have dvandvas. Dvandvas may also be found occasionally in European languages, but are relatively rare. * Examples include:* Sanskrit mātāpitarau "parents" (lit. 'mother-father'). * Chinese: 山川; pinyin: shānchuān and Japanese yamakawa (山川), for "landscape, scenery" (lit. "mountains and rivers"). * Georgian: დედ-მამა (ded-mama) (lit. mother-father) for parents, და-ძმა (da-ʒma) (lit. sister-brother) for siblings * Modern Greek μαχαιροπήρουνο /maçeɾoˈpiɾuno/ for "cutlery" (lit. "fork-knife"), ανδρόγυνο /anˈðɾoʝino/ for "married couple" (lit. "husband-wife") * (Mexican) Spanish corcho-lata ("cork-tin") for "bottle cap" * Finnic maa-ilma ("land-air") for "world" * Friulian marimont ("sea-world") for "the entire world, the universe" * Atong achu-ambi ("grandfather-grandmother") for "ancestors" * Azerbaijani ər-arvad ("husband-wife") for "married couple"Dvandvas should not be confused with agglutination, which also concatenates words but is a different process. |
