begreppsadditivitet
Begreppsadditivitet refers to a principle in semantic theory and cognitive science that describes how the meaning of a compound concept can be understood as the sum of the meanings of its constituent parts. This means that the overall meaning of a phrase or word is derived by combining the individual meanings of its component words or concepts in a straightforward manner. For example, in the concept "red car," begreppsadditivitet suggests that its meaning is simply the combination of "red" (a color) and "car" (a vehicle). This additive model implies a compositional approach to meaning, where the whole is predictable from its parts.
This principle is often contrasted with non-additive or non-compositional semantic phenomena. These can include idiomatic expressions
