Chinese languages usually compound new words by coordinating synonyms, most of which are bi-syllabic words. However, this study found numbers of trisyllabic synonym-coordinated adverbs in Taiwanese. This could be a special word formation. In addition, these coordinated adverbs are very different from similar elements in other Chinese dialects in terms of phonology or morphology. In the study, we analyzed data from the Japanese era and found that most of the three-syllable coordinated adverbs are actually first formed by compounding two-syllable adverbs. There are two required conditions for making these three-syllable new adverbs possible. First, the two syllables must be synonyms. Second, these two syllables must share one morpheme. There is one more constraint that determines the compounding selection-usage frequency. When there are more than one possibilities for compounding, the higher the frequency is, the more possible that the word will be selected. It is worth observing that this type of word formation is becoming prevalent in the Taiwanese language.
