4)The meaning of a sentence is not the sum total of the meanings

of all its components because it cannot be worked out by adding up all the meanings of its constituent words. For example;

(A) The dog bit the man.

(B) The man bit the dog.

If the meaning of a sentence were the sum total of the meanings of

all its components, then the above two sentences would have the same

meaning. In fact they are different in meanings.

As we know, there are two aspects to sentence meaning:

grammatical mean-ing and semantic meaning. The grammatical meanings of

“the dog” and “the man” in (A) are different from the grammatical

meanings of “the dog” and “the man” in (B). The meaning of a

sentence is the product of both lexical and grammatical meaning. It is

the product of the meaning of the constituent words and of the

grammatical constructions that relate one word syntagmatically to

another.
