Modeling language death

[Mia Kalish]

This is an excellent article. People might like to read it. 

 

It is short, 1 page, but full of implication.

People are always impressed by that which can be "measured" or "modeled"  .
. . math is distant but impressive. 

I am using it as a grounding thesis for immersion learning materials. With a
model, it's no longer a question of interpretation, belief, or position. 

'Course, my dissertation is all about math anyway, so it's a nice way to go.


 

Hope all are well. Raining here. Lots of floods. . . not where I live, but
other places. 

 

Best, 

Mia
