In contrast, Śālikanātha's solution is that words connect and convey an already connected meaning (that is not identical to the sheer sum of individual word meanings).

According to Śālikanātha all words within a sentence, once connected, convey the sentence meaning.
The options he is disagreeing with are that the sentence meaning is obtained through a partless sentence (as in Bhartṛhari) or from the last speech sound or from the word-meanings (as in Kumārila).

Why is the latter theory wrong? Because if the words conveyed only their own meanings, then their expressive power would be exhausted by conveying those meanings alone and the sentence-meaning would not be achieved.

For Kumārila, language is hierarchically organised. A single word (the finite verbal ending) is connected directly to the results, the others are connected with the verbal ending. A sentence has a single goal.

Kumārila comes to this conclusion through the fact that "[she] cooks" can be paraphrased as "[she] does the cooking", where "cooking" corresponds to the verbal root and "does" corresponds to the verbal ending.

Acc. to Kumārila, in each finite verb, bhāvanā ('actualisation', 'bringing into being') is the meaning of the verbal ending & it is distinct from the meaning of the verbal root. In other words, a finite verb like "[she] cooks" is in fact made of 2 separate morphemes & their corresponding meanings

Identifying flaws in GenAI unfortunately offers a pretext for claims that perfecting the product is just a matter of time & money. So pointing to chatbots’ role in,say, suicides can only go so far if we don’t also identify the systemic, irresolvable lack of Gen AI’s human commitment bc math has none
