A noun phrase can consist of two or more nouns.

A compound noun can consist of two or more nouns.

A noun phrase is any word or group of words based on a noun or pronoun (without a verb) that can function in a sentence as a subject, object of a verb or a preposition. A noun phrase can be one word or many words. A noun phrase may also contain articles, adjectives, prepositions, and conjunctions.

Examples: the board meeting, my mother's homemade cookies, a symposium on translating dead languages, etc.

A noun phrase may be a collective noun phrase. A collective noun is a word used to group people or things taken together as one whole in a descriptive way.

Examples: a crowd of people, a herd of cattle, a bushel of apples, etc.

A noun phrase may be a noun used to describe another noun. The noun used to describe another noun is called an attributive noun or a noun adjunct.

Examples: vinaigrette dressing, glass beads, vacation destination, etc.

A compound noun is a word made of two or more individual words that merge to form a noun with a meaning of its own.

Examples: bus stop, mother-in-law, bathtub ring, etc.
