Paper Summary:

Normally, natural human languages and mathematics are regarded as being diametrically opposed to one another. Mathematics is formal and is marked by precision; the objects of theory must be carefully defined so that the informal can be formalized. Natural human language on the other hand is flexible, and one term can denote not just multiple meanings but opposing ones as well. This paper explains that, in spite of these differences, human language and mathematics actually share common ground such as the fact that both human language and the language of mathematics actually have a precise formal structure.
