The following thesis is an attempt at researching and typologization of secondary compound proposals in the Slovenian language. The first part of the thesis deals with the question of defining the concept of the compound proposal itself, first with the definition of the proposal and then also with defining the process of compounding. The second part of the thesis lists all secondary compound proposals that have developed in the Slovenian language and includes their descriptions, supported with the various examples from the corpora. The proposals are categorized into three groups, according to the word classes of their component parts. The last part of the thesis is a short comparison of the meanings of proposal phrases which include the secondary compound proposals in the Slovenian and Russian languages. The thesis compares these two related Slavic languages and identifies the similarities and differences between the development of their proposals. All in all, the thesis is an attempt at acquiring an overall image of the actual use of the secondary compound proposals in the Slovenian language with examples from the corpora and dictionaries.
