Muskens radically simplifies Montague Semantics and generalises the
theory by basing it on a partial higher order logic resulting in a
theory which combines important aspects of Montague Semantics and
Situation Semantics. Richard Montague formulated the revolutionary
insight that we can understand the concept of meaning in ordinary
languages much in the same way as we understand the semantics of
logical languages. Unfortunately, he formalised his idea in an
unnecessarily complex way. The present work does away with
unnecessary complexities, obtains a streamlined version of the
theory, shows how partialising the theory automatically provides us
with the most central concepts of Situation Semantics, and offers a
simple logical treatment of propositional attitude verbs,
perception verbs and proper names.
