Montague semantics: Montague semantics Montague semantics is a theory of natural language semantics that was developed by the logician Richard Montague in the 1970s. It is a formal theory that uses logic to model the meaning of sentences. For Montague, the meaning of a sentence is a function of the meaning of its parts. The meaning of a word is determined by its context. The meaning of a sentence can be represented by a logical expression.
