On the history of the question of whether natural language is “illogical”

A nice essay from Barbara Partee on the origins of formal semantics of natural languages and Montague Grammar.

Not directly programming language material, the topic is likely to interest many here. I think several interesting previous discussions related to Montague can be found by searching the archives.
