morphocombinatorial

is another combination. I cannot offer direct evidence of the existence of such a compound - nor of the German "morphokombinatorisch" - but there are several Google references of "combinatorial environment" or "combinatorial context"

http://www.ilsp.gr/ippotis/WEB/Spetses.doc:
To have an effect on the cognitive level by providing a combinatorial environment. In order to operate in this environment, children should learn how to handle and evaluate different types of non-linear information and, therefore, develop a different type of coherence than the coherence sustained by linear written texts.

I think, this is as good as it gets...

We use YAC, a recursive chunker, to annotate corpus material. In addition to the mere structural analysis, it delivers information about head lemma, >>> morpho-syntax<<<<, as well as certain lexical-semantic and structural properties of chunks.

The >>> combinatory <<< phenomena are on the verge of being idiomatized (lexicalized as complex predicates), and it seems that the collocations we identified need to be described together with their preferred syntactic constructions.

morphosyntactical/ or rephrasing

in anderen syntaktischen und morphokombinatorischen Umgebungen
-> in other syntactical and morphosyntactical environments
=> in other combinations of words and morphemes

syntax = combinations of words in a phrase
morphosyntax = combination of morphemes in a word

another option:
\"in other syntactical environments and morpheme combinations\"

\"Some possible morpheme combinations of English don\'t actually exist in the language at the current time. Can you provide reasons why the following possible combinations don\'t actually exist: respoonify
re + spoon + ify), understanded (understand + ed), laughen (laugh + en)..\"

syntactic and morphologically combinatorial environments

Jonathan's answer is nearly there.

"What are the syntactic and morphological rules for composing
number expressions? That is, how are number words (syntactically or
morphologically) combined with words that refer to a countable set of
things?" (See ref. 1 below)

" The grammar indirectly specifies the combinatorial environments of a such a lexical entry, but at this stage it is only a specifi- cation interpreted within the grammar itself. It is usually assumed that the specification chunks are small syntactic domains." (See ref. 2 below)
