Sam,
You will have to somehow let Mathematica know which functions must be
computed with some particular argument (In your example, functions Sin, Cos
and Log, but not Plus). Here is one way:
In[13]:= funs = {Sin, Cos, Log}
Out[13]= {Sin, Cos, Log}
In[14]:= f = Sin*Cos + Log
Out[14]= Log + Cos Sin
In[15]:= f /. (ff : Alternatives @@ funs) :> ff[x]
Out[15]= Log[x] + Cos[x] Sin[x]
Regards,
Leonid
