description Since Frege (1892), the philosophical tradition has made sense of linguistic practice from the point of view of a compositional grammar. In this paper I have two goals in mind. First, I want to present a novel challenge that any theory of language must meet. According to this challenge a satisfactory account of language must not only include ordinary uses of language, but also an account of language acquisition, language development, grammatical changes through history within and across languages, and fictional uses of language. In arguing for this challenge I will make clear that the traditional compositional account is unable to meet the challenge, unless it comes forward with an independently supported empirical account of the problematic evidence. If it can do so, then the traditional account will be in much better shape, with new evidence on its behalf. My second goal consists in sketching a new alternative account of the compositional nature of language (the open view). This view gives place to a new theory, one that can successfully meet the challenge. Furthermore, this new proposal succeeds while presenting a simpler explanation with a greater predictive power.
