Montague grammar is an approach to natural language semantics, named after American logician Richard Montague. The Montague grammar is based on formal logic, especially higher order predicate logic and lambda calculus, and makes use of the notions of intensional logic, via Kripke models. Montague pioneered this approach in the 1960s and early 1970s. Montague's thesis was that natural languages (like English) and formal languages (like programming languages) can be treated in the same way:
Montague published what soon became known as Montague grammar〔The linguist Barbara Partee credibly claims to have invented the term in 1971 “for the system spelled out in Montague's“ UG, EFL and “especially in PTQ”. See her essay ("Reflections of a Formal Semanticist as of Feb 2005" ), p. 14, footnote 36.〕 in three papers: * 1970: "Universal grammar" (= UG)〔"Universal grammar". ''Theoria'' 36 (1970), 373–398.
