fallacy of composition and philosophy of language

The fallacy of composition is a logical error in which one assumes that what is true for the parts must also be true for the whole. In other words, it is the erroneous belief that something that is true at a smaller scale will remain true at a larger scale. Philosophy of language is an area of study that examines the nature of language and its relationship to thought, communication, and reality. It investigates how language functions, the meanings of words and sentences, as well as the ways in which language can shape our understanding of the world.
