No semantics at the connectionist level
And the relevant level of analysis (the cognitive and compositional level), connectionist implementations of classical models are classical, not connectionist. At the implementational(connectionist) level, they have no compositional semantics.
So Chlamers is wrong to claim that connectionist implementations of classical models possess compositional semantics, because, to the extent that they are connectionist implementations, they have no semantics at all.
