Verdejo Filosofía rationality semantic rule compositionality reverse compositionality Inferential Role Semantics Vigorous Fodorian criticism may make it seem impossible for Inferential Role Semantics (IRS) to ac- commodate compositionality. In this paper, first, I introduce a neo-Fregean version of IRS that appeals centrally to the notion of rationality. Second, I show how such a theory can respect compositionality by means of semantic rules. Third, I argue that, even if we consider top-down compositional derivability: a) the Fodorian is not justified in claiming that it involves so-called reverse compositionality; and b) a defend- er of IRS can still offer a satisfactory account in terms of the inferential capacities of rational thinkers. 2009 artículo científico 0495-4548 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=339730808002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3397 THEORIA.
