Primes

• Compositionality
  • Davidson (1967) in Truth and Meaning argues that a compositional truth-conditional semantics is the foundation for understanding language—though debates over holism versus molecularity continue (CROSS-DP-19 holism).

    This sourceArgues a Tarski-style compositional truth-conditional semantics models how sentence meaning depends on word meanings and explains learnability; foundation-of-semantics claim (supports D22-229).

• Holism
  • Davidson's "Truth and Meaning" (1967)

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
