Where does incorporation collide?

In linguistics, noun incorporation is a morphological process in which a noun, typically an object or instrument, is compounded directly into the verb, so that what other languages express as a phrase becomes a single word. Marianne Mithun's 1984 The evolution of noun incorporation set out a cross-linguistic typology of how, and in what stages, languages develop this construction. The referent is a word-formation pattern inside grammar, and it has nothing to do with chartering a company or applying constitutional rights, which the same word names in law.[1]

In United States constitutional law, incorporation is the doctrine by which guarantees of the Bill of Rights, originally binding only the federal government, are applied to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause. Erwin Chemerinsky's Constitutional law: Principles and policies traces how the Supreme Court incorporated these protections one right at a time rather than all at once. The referent is the selective extension of federal rights against the states, a construct unrelated to forming a company or building a word, which the same term also names.[2]

In cultural studies, incorporation refers to the way a dominant culture absorbs a subculture, by turning its style into commodities or by redefining its deviance. This meaning comes from Hebdige (1979) in Subculture: The meaning of style.[3]
