Montague’s semantics and Boolean semantics for natural language representation. (English) Zbl 0702.68078

Summary: Natural language processing constitutes the subfield of artificial intelligence which deals with the development of computer programs able to understand natural language. Montague’s semantics and Boolean semantics attempt to apply some techniques of mathematical logic and of algebraic lattice theory respectively for the representation of natural language with a view of its automatic processing. The purpose of this paper is to compare these two approaches from syntactic and semantic points of view.
