Abstract

[Part I Chapters 2 through 8 present the “grammar” of math-based writing that I call sentence algebra. In Part I, we will use the sentence algebra system to investigate sentences as if they were little message-carrying machines that can be modeled with functional equations. In these equations, up to eight different algebraic variables represent the machines’ components. The equations themselves record how each machine’s components are arranged and interconnected so that they operate together to accomplish the work of message encoding (by writers), transmission (via documents), and communication (to readers, who then decode the message text). After you complete the Part I chapters, when you write a sentence and see it on the page or screen or when you read a sentence written by someone else, you should be able to understand technically how that sentence works beneath its surface.]
