Abstract

Due to it being a specialized language, which has both scientific and universal applications, the language of mathematics has received general attention within the field of linguistics and within educational circles. The language used within math textbooks is at the “forefront” of learning the language of mathematics. Paying close attention to the language used within math textbooks will not only help to improve the construction of said textbook sand lead to a greater level of standardization of textbook language, but it will also lead to the greater expansion of the breadth and depth of linguistic research regarding this topic. Mathematical language and the language used within math textbooks are two different concepts, establishing a clear delineation between the connotation and category of these two distinct languages is helpful when conducting in-depth research. In accordance with the idea of Synergistic linguistics, this paper believes that the language of math textbooks is a self-organized and self-regulated dynamic system. At the macro level, it presents the dynamic characteristics from the concrete to the abstract. And at the micro level, both specialized descriptive language and life-oriented language coexist, linguistic precision and colloquial language coexist, unified expression and ideation are also able to coexist. The systematic research into mathematics textbook language is great of great importance when discussing the improvement of the scientific and theoretical nature of textbook research.
