Hello from autumn colored Yamagata, Japan!

I forward an inquiry of my undergraduate student who is writing her
graduation
paper on English compounding.
=============================================================
I'm Kaori Henmi, a senior in Yamagata (Japanese National) University.
Does anyone have a comprehensive list of English common nouns that are
always used in plural form, e.g. trousers, pants, scissors, etc.?

Thanks in advance...
