Abstract	This paper presents a contrastive analysis of English syntactic structures consisting of two nouns and their equivalents in the Croatian language. Although in theory a distinction must be drawn between noun phrases consisting of two nouns and nominal compounds also consisting of two nouns, this paper focuses on how English [n+n] structures in general contrast with their Croatian translation equivalents. A selection of authentic English corpus data was translated into Croatian and the Croatian translation equivalents were grouped into two major categories based on the formal nature of the translation equivalents: (a) Croatian translation equivalents also consisting of noun + noun structures (whereby the modifying noun in Croatian must be inflected), (b) Croatian translation equivalents which are structurally non-equivalent in taking a premodifying adjective phrase or even lengthier postmodifiers like relative clauses.
