But ultimately Montague's treatment of NPs, though it was in a sense the centerpiece of his proposed conception of language-as-logic, was not widely adopted in computational linguistics. This was in part because the latter community was not convinced that an omega-order logic was needed for NL semantics, found the somewhat complex treatment of NPs in various argument positions and in particular, the treatment of scope ambiguities in terms of multiple syntactic analyses,  unattractive, and was preoccupied with other semantic issues, such as adequately representing events and their relationships, and developing systematic nominal and verb “ontologies” for broad-coverage NL analysis. Nonetheless, the construal of language as logic left a strong imprint on computational semantics, generally steering the field towards compositional approaches, and in some approaches such as CCG, providing a basis for a syntax tightly coupled to a type-theoretic semantics (Bach et al. 1987; Carpenter 1997).
