Frege's Principle of Compositionality
Frege's Principle of Compositionality states that the meaning of a complex expression, like a sentence, is determined by the meanings of its individual parts and how they are combined. In other words, understanding a sentence involves understanding each word and how they connect. This principle emphasizes that there is a systematic relationship between the structure of a sentence and its overall meaning, so that the meaning of the whole can be derived from its parts and their arrangement, ensuring precise and predictable interpretation of language.
