Story Problem Formats: Verbal Versus Telegraphic.
Moyer, John C.; And Others
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v15 n1 p64-68 Jan 1984

Only in grade six was a significant difference found, favoring the verbal format. Problems with conventional syntax appeared to be easier to interpret than those with bare bones syntax. (MNS)
