On meaning

Meaning is captured by some form of entity, such as words, individually or combined.

What type of operation takes place when words are combined? Is meaning additive? Some words are declarative (noun, verbs) and others are modifiers (adjectives, adverbs). The effect of some words over other words is not additive.

What about meaning? What is meaning in relationship to words?
Can meaning be considered absolute?
Can meanings be combined?

If meaning is transmitted, is the sent meaning the same as the received meaning?
