Abstract
This research is both a linguistic study and a search for the translation of English nominal
compounds into Arabic. Compound constructions are very common in everyday speech
and all types of written texts. They have been selected for study because Arabic
translators often find difficulty in translating English nominal compounds into Arabic.
The reasons for conducting such research are also linguistic and pedagogic in nature.
Fresh-translators will find it difficult to cope with the complex constructions that are
absent in Arabic. To determine this problems of dealing with complex constructions of
this nature in translating from English into Arabic, Selkirk's theory and Vinay's and
Darbelnet's methods are followed.
