Abstract
We give a type logical categorial grammar for the syntax and semantics of Montague's seminal fragment, which includes ambiguities of quantification and intensionality and their interactions, and we present the analyses assigned by a parser/theorem prover CatLog to the examples in the first half of Chapter 7 of the classic text Introduction to Montague Semantics of Dowty, Wall and Peters (1981).
Keywords: categorial grammar; displacement calculus; Montague Grammar; parsing as deduction; quantification
