Theory that the meaning of a phrase or sentence can be analyzed into, and can be constructed out of, the meanings of its constitute words.
These meanings can be accounted for independently, and function as atoms of meaning. Similarly, the theory will analyze the meaning of complex sentences in terms of the meanings of their parts.
The opposite view is called SEMANTIC HOLISM.
