Vernacular Mathematics, Discourse Representation, and Arbitrary Objects
This paper discusses some of the issues that have to be addressed for a systematic treatment of vernacular mathematics. In vernacular proofs, variable letters are introduced and used in a way that does not conform to the usual interpretation offered for referring expressions in the formal semantics of natural language (Kamp and Reyle, 1993; Kamp, 1981; Heim, 1982; Groenendijk and Stokhof, 1990;...
متن کاملShared Deictic Referencing in Online Mathematics Discourse
Recent research on the impact of new communication and information technologies stress the transformation that new forms of mediated interactions are having on the ways that teenagers, especially, participate and make sense of different aspects of their lives, including education. The Virtual Math Teams (VMT) project is an NSF-funded research program that investigates the innovative use of onli...
متن کاملMeasuring mathematics discourse in technology-supported collaborative activities
This paper presents a classroom observation protocol and analysis method that efficiently capture key student and teacher discursive moves. We developed this protocol for use in a study comparing classrooms using Eduinnova, handheld computer-supported collaborative learning software, with classrooms using a popular, non-collaborative software application aimed at the same topic. Analysis of dat...
متن کاملTense as Discourse Anaphor
In this paper, I consider a range of English expressions and show that their context-dependency can be characterized in terms of two properties: 1. they specify entities in an evolving model of the discourse that the listener is constructing; 2. the particular entity specified depends on another entity in that part of the evolving 'discourse model' that the listener is currently attending to. S...
متن کاملMathematics as a Tool?
I analyze the new emerging role of mathematics for extracting structure from data. This role is different from the traditional role of mathematics as a tool for other sciences that provided a theoretical framework in which experiments acquired meaning, with which the quality of data could be assessed and which could be explored with the formal methods of mathematics. The challenge for mathemati...
