IV 177
Compositionality Principle/compositional/Fodor/Lepore: the CRT (>conceptual role) requires identification of the inferential role with meaning together with the distinction analytic/synthetic, so that the constituents of inferences can provide the meaning. >Analyticity/syntheticity, >Inferences, >Meaning, >Frege principle.
Fodor/Lepore Vs: but then have meaningless semantics: brown cows are dangerous would be analytical!
Field: thesis: the inferential role equals subjective probability.
FL Vs: subjective probability itself is not compositional, e.g. there is no addition of subjective probability about cows and brown things.
IV 182
Compositionality/local/global/Fodor/Lepore: e.g. idioms and metaphors are not compositional. Compositionality is local, e.g. the order is important for spelling.
Otherwise, it could be global: here, confirmation of theories is carried out through the entire science.
Empirical inferences: are global, not local. >Global/local.
IV 183
Compositionality: could only be met by a CRT which recognizes the (analytical/synthetical) distinction and is not holistic. (CRT: >Conceptual role semantics.)
