compositionaltheir
Compositional theory is a framework within linguistics and cognitive science that explores how complex meanings are constructed from simpler components, often referred to as "compositional semantics." The concept emphasizes that the meaning of a larger expression (such as a sentence) is systematically derived from the meanings of its constituent parts (words, phrases) and the rules governing their combination.
The term "compositional" originates from the idea that meaning is built through hierarchical composition—smaller units contribute
Compositional theory contrasts with holistic approaches, which suggest that some expressions carry unique meanings not fully
In computational linguistics, compositional models are foundational for parsing and generating language. Frameworks like lambda calculus
