Compositionality Principle
SEMANTICS: a principle (attributed to Frege, hence sometimes called Frege's
Principle) that constrains the relation between form and meaning by requiring
that the meaning of a composite expression is built up from the meanings of its basic
expressions. This principle plays an important role in formal semantic theories, like
Montague Grammar. Here the Compositionality
Principle takes the form of a homomorphism, a mapping that assigns meanings to
the basic expressions of the language and semantic operations to syntactic rules.
