I may not understand the direction of the question, but Barbara Partee's 
work on (Richard) Montague Grammars deeply combines logic and linguistics. 
Many people have done related work.

In a different direction, in 1971 Stanley Peters and Robert W. Ritchie 
formalized Chomsky's notion of a transformational grammar and proved that 
every r.e. set had one.  What followed is, I think, a rare case of a 
mathematical result strongly influencing the development of a social 
science.
