Abstract: Compositionality principle: the meaning of a sentence is a function of the word senses and the way the words are syntactically linked with each other within it. Reformulation of the compositionality principle necessitated by the fact that meanings in a natural language are expressed not only by words but also by other language units, such as grammatical forms and prosody. Trivial and non-trivial meaning interaction. An example of non-trivial meaning interaction (McCawley 1968): John almost killed him. General and lexically bound (dictionary) rules of meaning interaction. A sample dictionary rule for dolzhen ‘must’ as distinct from its synonyms objazan = ‘obliged’ and sleduet = ‘should’:
Dictionary rules of lexical meaning interaction. Dictionary rules of interaction between lexical and grammatical meanings. |
