Compounding is a useful procedure of word construction which is commonly used to be added to the lexical collection of all languages. It attempts to come up with complete typology which can account for both Kurdish and English compounds. Then, there are some concerns applicable to the orthography, stress form, meaning and in compounds will be discussed. There seems to be connection between the orthography and stress form of English compounds. Subsequently, some implications and directions in terms of the interactive properties of Kurdish and English compounds will be discussed.
