We have argued elsewhere that first order inference can be made more efficient by using non-standard syntax for first order logic. In this paper we show how a fragment of English syntax under Montague semantics provides the foundation of a new inference procedure. This procedure seems more effective than corresponding procedures based on either classical syntax or our previously proposed taxonomic syntax. This observation may provide a functional explanation for some of the syntactic structure of English.
