Montague Grammar

Edit

Montague grammar is a formal approach to natural language semantics that applies tools from mathematical logic to describe the syntax and meaning of natural language expressions within a unified framework [1][2]. Developed by Richard Montague, the approach establishes systematic correspondences between syntactic categories and semantic types, using compositional rules to derive the interpretation of complex expressions from the meanings of their constituents and the ways they combine. It treats natural languages as amenable to formal semantic analysis using methods comparable to those employed in the study of formal languages and logical systems [1][2].
