Saussurian Linguistics Revisited: Can It Inform Our Interpretation of Mathematical Activity?.
McNamara, O.
Science and Education, v4 n3 p253-66 Jul 1995
Examines the basic notions of Ferdinand de Saussure and proposes that language is fundamental to the process of learning mathematics. Investigates possible mathematical perspectives upon Saussure's ideas and explores the contribution his work can offer to enhance and enrich the interpretive framework through which mathematical activity is observed in the classroom.
