Although it is unclear from your request whether you have any particular
(compound) language in mind, for Swedish a good starting point are:
Brodda B. (1979). Något om de svenska ordens fonotax och morfotax:
Iakttagelse med utgångspunkt från experiment med automatisk morfologisk
analys. Stockholm University
Blåberg O. (1988). A Study of Swedish Compounds. Report 29. University of
Umeå.
There is also a section in:
Kokkinakis D. (1999). A Linguistic Framework for WEB-Based Experiments with
Corpora. Proceedings of the Association Suedoise de Linguistique Appliquee
Symposium (ASLA): Corpora in Research and Teaching. Byrman G. et al. (eds)
Växjö, Sweden.

Lexicon. Literary and Linguistic Computing, vol. 4(4):247-253. Oxford
