> Right-branching noun compounds do tend to be more common than left-branch=
ing in English corpora. The conversion of CCGbank (a corpus of CCG-annotate=
d Wall Street Journal text; see http://groups.inf.ed.ac.uk/ccg/ccgbank.html=
) from the Penn Treebank required imposing binary branching on all noun com=
pounds, and they opted for universal right-branching, given that recovering=
 the correct bracketing was considered too difficult / out of scope, and ri=
ght-branching at least guarantees correctness >50% of the time.

Wow that was a quick reply! I'd like to see the evidence for the claim that=
 right-branching compounds are more common. For instance, the count of righ=
t-branching might be erroneously inflated by misanalysing attributive nouns=
 as compound-initial (e.g. "London fight club").
