This study examined the role of mathematical lexical ambiguity in math…

Toomela, Aaro, Ed.; Kikas, Eve, Ed. – Peter Lang Frankfurt, 2012
The Soviet Union collapsed more than 20 years ago, but the traces left in occupied countries by this monstrous system still affect the lives of millions of people.
