 Rather, word meanings are understood as already connected with other words ("anvitābhidhāna", anvita = connected; abhidhāna = denotation).This view was influenced by the holistic arguments of Bhartṛhari's theory.Essentially the Prābhākaras argued that sentence meanings are grasped directly, from perceptual and contextual cues, skipping the stage of grasping singly the individual word meanings, similar to the modern view of linguistic underspecification, which relates to the Dynamic Turn in Semantics, that also opposes purely compositional approaches to sentence meaning.
