The Principle of Compositionality, often attributed to philosopher and logician Gottlob Frege, states that the meaning of a complex expression (such as a sentence or phrase) is determined by the meanings of its parts and the rules used to combine them. In other words, the meaning of a whole is a function of the meanings of its constituent parts and the syntactic structure that binds them together.
