Montague

Montague refers to Richard Montague, a philosopher and logician famous for developing formal logic systems that analyze natural language. He aimed to show that everyday language can be rigorously studied using mathematical tools, bridging philosophy, linguistics, and logic. Montague's approach allows us to see how meaning and structure in language relate systematically, helping clarify how we interpret sentences and communicate ideas precisely. His work laid the foundation for formal semantics, the study of meaning in language, enabling more accurate analysis and understanding of natural language through logical frameworks.
