摘　　要：计算机人工智能时代最重要的任务之一是自然语言的信息处理,逻辑语义学则是其基础理论,而组合原则又是逻辑语义学的基本原则,表现为部分决定整体的函项思想。自然语言的虚化成分是自然语言复合表达式中对整体意义不起作用的那些部分,自然语言违反组合原则的情况表现为句法和语义的不对应,意味着决定整体意义的"部分"这个概念应该受到限制,组合原则的经典表述在自然语言的某些场合受到挑战。就自然语言的某些语义领域而言,限制性的组合原则概念是关于组合原则具体精准的表述。Principle of compositionality is the most important principle for Logical Semantics, a theoretical foundation of NLP （Natural Language Processing）, which is one of the most impor- tant tasks in the age of artificial intelligence. Principle of compositionality embodies the idea that the meaning of the whole expression is the function of the meanings of its components. However, as a typical phenomenon of anti-syntax-semantics-correspondence, the vacuous components in complex expressions of natural language make no contribution to the meaning of the whole ex- pression. Therefore, the meanings of its parts should be manipulated under a certain restrictions of principle of compositionality. This paper proposes the restricted principle of compositionality as a more accurate expression of the Principle.
