  abstract  = {Noun compounds (NCs) are semantically complex and not fully compositional, as
	is often assumed. This paper presents a pilot study regarding the semantic
	annotation of environmental NCs with a view to accessing their semantics and
	exploring their domain-based contextual variation. Our results showed that the
	semantic annotation of NCs afforded important insights into how context impacts
	their conceptualization.},
