Comments on Montague’s Paper

Abstract

Because Montague’s efforts at analyzing the semantics and syntax of natural language have probably been developed more extensively than any other now available, it is natural to raise some questions, not so much about the paper itself, but about his own perspective on the future of the kind of analysis he has presented.

These comments were written at the time of the Workshop and thus before Montague’s death. To preserve the sense of interaction at the Workshop they have been left unchanged.
