I'm looking for referents / references about how/if learning mathematic language prior to grammar impacts comprehension ad interpretation abilities.
Another route but similar purpose, is to understand if enhancing adults' skills on mathematical language understanding can have any impact on the development of their speaking and writing skills.
Does anyone know of any studies, papers around this?
Thank you!
The correlation between mathematics and second/foreign language (L2) could be positive. Learning mathematics could facilitate learning L2 and vice versa. You might check out the book by Neville-Barton and Barton (2005) and the articles by Erath et al. (2021) and Hall et al. (2021). Full citations are below.

Thank you Maged G. Bin-Saad - This and other related ones I found based on your recommendation are of great help. I appreciate it!
Hello!
You can try this book:
DANESI, Marcel (2016). Language and Mathematics: An Interdisciplinary Guide. Berlin: Walter de Gruyter Inc.
You may find from mathematical logic, mathematical-linguistic interface, until how syntax is influnced from math knowledge. The book has a great understandable language as well for both linguists and mathematicians.
Hope that helps.
