Identifies the characteristic principles of intertextuality in school mathematics. Drawing on a larger study, this article examines how language is used to construct the shared meanings of a mathematical theme. An analysis is made of spoken and written texts to determine their contribution to the development of a thematic formation for the topic…

Offers insight as to why children switch back to their mother tongue in mathematics classes. Discusses implications for teachers of mathematics in such settings. (Author/CCM)

Some of the new statistical research of Wladimir D. Admoni and the language typology work of Winfred P. Lehmann is presented. It is then shown that the results of the two methods can be put together to bring forth new knowledge about the present-day tendencies of German syntax. (Text is in German.) (TL)

BASED ON A LECTURE GIVEN AT THE UNIV. OF TEXAS SCIENCE CONFERENCE, NOV. 20, 1964, THIS PAPER PRESENTS IN RELATIVELY NON-TECHNICAL TERMINOLOGY A DESCRIPTION OF THE "STRUCTURAL" APPROACH TO THE STUDY OF LANGUAGE WHICH UNDERLIES THE WORK OF THE LINGUISTICS RESEARCH CENTER. THIS APPROACH ANALYZES LANGUAGE IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT CAN BE MANIPULATED WITH…

This bibliography is divided into five sections. The first section cites bibliographies relevant to the study of word frequency, while the second section gives references to word lists. The third and fourth parts deal with general vocabulary studies and related articles, respectively. The fifth section concerns structural frequency counts, with…

A survey of linguistic history to demonstrate the linguistic basis of logical and mathematical formalism is presented. (HP)

The articles in this collection offer rich and provocative views, backed by research and intensive classroom experience, of science and mathematics and teaching and learning. In particular, they explore some combination of the following: (1) science and mathematics as discourses; (2) students' home- and culturally-based ways of knowing, talking,…

Paper presented at the 1st All India Conference of Linguists, Poona, India, December 1970. (DD)

Suggests that trivialized versions of constructivism are promulgated due to misunderstandings of vocabulary adopted by its advocates. Discusses specifics of frustrations in an effort to communicate the insights and implications of radical and social constructivist theories to preservice and practicing teachers. Presents a classroom episode to show…

National Numeracy Strategy (NNS) guidance appears to characterise mathematical language as a set of specialist words with unambiguous definitions, yet analysis of the classroom transcript suggests that at least some mathematical concepts cannot be captured by such definitions. This paper explores the notion of definition within mathematics,…

This paper reviews research and theoretical articles investigating psycholinguistic aspects of aphasia. The majo r parts of the review include: (1) the concept of regression in aphasic language both on an ontogenetic and a microgenetic level; (2) studies of specific parameters, such as abstractness; (3) the approach of mathematical linguistics;…
