A solid introduction,

This review is from: Introduction to Montague Semantics (Studies in Linguistics and Philosophy) (Hardcover)
This is a good introduction to the Richard Montague's semantic theory, beginning with the basics, working up through type theory, tense, modals, and intension, and ending with a thorough explanation of the PTQ system. Ideal for the beginner seeking to become conversant in this classical theory. The reader is assumed to have a basic familiarity with set theory and predicate logic.
