Lexical Integrity Hypothesis has been assumed in a number of morpho-syntactic frameworks as a genuine principle of human language and is taken to rule out some unwanted derivations. However, research over the past few decades has gathered a body of data that call for a rethinking of it. This work discusses Lexical Integrity Hypothesis with reference to a sample of this data, highlights areas where it fails, and considers one particular account which, if correct, requires non-trivial changes in attribute composition.
