S\'er. 32, No.127-128, 319-335 (1989).} \itemab Summary: We describe a simplified version of the semantics of Montague for intensional logic as exposed in the first author's Ph. D. thesis [A semantics for literary texts (Conc. Univ., Montr\'eal)]. We hope that this new version is clearer than the original one and that will help to understand Montague's semantics, its achievements and its limitations. In particular, we discuss problems of identity, possibility and existence and we show some of its shortcomings to cope with these fundamental problems in the philosophy of language. This paper is a companion to that one reviewed above, where a Boolean-valued version of Gupta's semantics is explained and criticized. These two papers may be viewed both as an introduction and a motivation for a system of intensional logic that we believe free of the shortcomings of both Montague's and Gupta's semantics: the logic of kinds. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{Montague semantics; intensional logic; philosophy of language; logic of kinds} \itemli{} \end
