a new meaning derivated from a verbal compound

The two roots keep their meanings so that the new compound doesn't change to a new meaning.

This reminds me of the 4 years of Portuguese grammar I had when I was going for my translator's degree in Antwerp (French-Portuguese-Danish).
Good luck with your translation
Note from asker:
I take it you went to the Hogeschool there? I have a friend considering this for Polish-German-Dutch. Did you like it? BTW, thanks for the answer - the main reason I didn't choose it was b/c of "derivated"... this terminological stuff can be so frustrating. Thanks though!

neutral Muriel Vasconcellos : Your understanding is correct, but "derivated" and "verbal compound" are not used in theoretical linguistics, and the definite article needs to be "the" in this case.
