Synopsis
Discover how a complex theory becomes practical tools for language and AI.
This nonfiction work reframes Montague's intensional logic into approachable, computable ideas. It shows a simplified version of the theory, highlights its connection to procedural semantics, and explains how Lisp can express key meanings through patterns of function application. The text discusses context, knowledge representation, and how the method can support tasks like parsing and interpreting natural language with real computer programs.
- See how a high-level semantic system can be translated into executable procedures.
- Learn the three stages of transforming English strings into usable logic and back again.
- Explore how context, world information, and temporal aspects influence meaning in computation.
- Review concrete examples and the parallels between Montague’s ideas and Lisp programming.

Making Computational Sense of Montague's Intensional Logic (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book reframes Montague's complex model-theoretic interpretion of intensional logic, showing how it can be related to procedural semantics. Though Montague's system involves infinite sets and functions that fail computability tests, the author demonstrates how it can be implemented by replacing the logic's bottom layer with a set of procedures that preserve computability. The author highlights Montague's significant contribution to the field by showing how the procedural method of knowledge representation can be sharpened in the very area that has caused it the most criticism: the ad hoc nature of its definitions. By replacing the Montague system's bottom layer with a set of procedures that preserve computability, the author demonstrates that the research in Montague grammar is compatible with research in procedural semantics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332153541_0
