The paper presents research concerned with the ability of children to identify Czech compound constituents and the factors affecting this ability. It focuses on the constituent family size effect, i.e. the number of compounds sharing the constituent (type frequency), and it also compares the results with an English study by Krott and Nicoladis (2005). Unlike the English study, the Czech data do not confirm the family size effect on the child’s success during the identification. The primary factor seems to be the knowledge of the motivating word. Our paper discusses differences in Czech and English compounding and points out some problems of the reliability of the results achieved using a child-questionning method (“Why do we call a merry-go-round a merry-go-round?”).
