Ma<strong>the</strong>matics Register<br />
☯ The language of ma<strong>the</strong>matics is not<br />
acquired effortlessly <strong>and</strong> naturally<br />
through social interaction, but ra<strong>the</strong>r<br />
learned <strong>and</strong> taught in school as a<br />
separate register <strong>and</strong> often as a<br />
consciously memorized vocabulary.<br />
☯ …ma<strong>the</strong>matical terms are not items<br />
of everyday language, even though<br />
ma<strong>the</strong>matical operations are part of<br />
our every day lives.<br />
