Excerpt from Making Computational Sense of Montague's Intensional Logic

Montague's method for assigning meanings to English sentences involves three distinct phases. An English string is assigned a syntactic analysis with respect to a categorial grammar. This is translated into an expression in the language of intensional logic. Finally, this expression undergoes model - theoretic interpretation.

Montague's language of intensional logic is a typed lambda calculus. In this language he constructs a generally complex formula representing a pattern of composition and application of functions, ultimately derived from the basic terms of the language, such terms as man, seek, run, etc.
