About

The Chinese word **军校 (jūnxiào)**, meaning "military academy," is a straightforward and common type of compound word formed through **modifier-head** or **attributive** morphology. It combines two independent characters: **军 (jūn)**, meaning "military" or "army," and **校 (xiào)**, meaning "school." In this structure, the first character **军** acts as an attributive modifier that specifies the type or domain, while the second character **校** serves as the semantic head that denotes the core category. Thus, the compound transparently means "a school of the military type," logically and efficiently creating a new, specific term from two general concepts.
