The problem for compositionality is that the meaning of reading or writing is not present in the words of the sentence, neither in "begin" nor in "book". 585:

Weak compositionality refers to compound expressions that are determined by the meaning of its parts as well as their complete syntactic combination.

The task of finding the rules of composition, then becomes a matter of describing what the connection between S and M is. 727:
