NonCompositional

Written in a rush, because time flies like an arrow (whereas fruit flies like a banana). Each entry is also a chain of Tweets. When we compose meanings, concepts, semantics or any other'elements' of cognition, the outcome is not easily predictable like it is when we compose functions in mathematics or operations in a computer programme. We all know, without really even having to think, that a wine hangover is a hangover caused by wine, but a college town is a town that has a college. It seems obvious to us that a honey bee is a bee that produces honey, but that a mountain lodge is a lodge located on a mountain.
