This paper aims to explain the compositionality and the mechanism for realizing the compositionality in Pustejovsky’s (1995) the Generative Lexicon Theory. The Generative Lexicon Theory considers the compositionality as one of the most important and essential issues in the formal semantic research and revises the methodology of realizing compositionality. This theory also suggests the strong compositionality and the concrete processes for applying it to the natural language, although it does not show the strict correspondence between a form and its meaning and the polysemy or the polymorphism will appear in the natural language. These processes of the Generative Lexicon Theory include type coercion, co-composition, and selective binding. However, the Generative Lexicon Theory has a weakness on explaining a context-dependent interpretation by the strong compositionality.
