Morphology

Emily + Jane + Brontë

This item is a proper name (a person) rather than a compositional phrase: knowing the individual given names 'Emily' and 'Jane' and the surname 'Brontë' does not allow a B1 learner to infer the biographical information (that she was a 19th‑century English novelist and poet). Proper names are referential and require world knowledge, so the specific meaning/identity is not derivable from the constituents.

Etymology

Emily Jane Brontë was an English writer from the wild Yorkshire moors who used the pen name 'Ellis Bell' to hide that she was a woman. She wrote the famous novel 'Wuthering Heights', and today her name stands for the author of that dark story set on the moors.
