My original q on Quora said "language" and "grammar" in title (words which are sometimes interchangable in normal parlance). Please help pick/edit if that wording works.

Is language/grammar (mathematically?) scientific (like Math)?

Trying to explain from my heavy Math and Law parent backgrounds (US English speakers), taking a few years to find the words. Should I ask another question, "Is language mathematical?" specifically, or can I explain how I meant *Science to a Mathematical degree*, keeping the original question intact?

Is language (mathematically?) scientific (like Math)?

Is language itself scientific? Can the way language is used/abused be scientifically evaluated like a Math problem? Can an English sentence be mathematical?

IsAre grammar constructs defined like (100% equal to?) math formulas?

Language and grammar seem to be regarded "like" math, however Math can be reproducably calculated, can the same be said of Language? Another side of language and wording though, grammaris some form of Psychology, standardizedmeaning Style, Order, and Form, tied to human functions like how we emit/hear/see/feel sound and can remember a paragraph versus a page at a time. Is Math not unique as a Science, for being able to be computed and not require a human being?

Is language and grammar so standardized and prescriptive, made by scientific methods wholly the same as Math follows? A computer can calculate math, but not an English sentence "yet", in terms of Scientific Methods, so how is language graded versus math and is it a fully equivalent determination?

Sympolics of math can be traced and reproduced, anyone can take a formula and make a (the exact) rocket. However, with language and linguicisms there is a nature of supposed mathematical certaintly and exactness, yet there is severe/warring difficulty in society in determining what words mean and how they're said.

We may not know who "invented" a word, any more than who "invented" some maths, but for some reason we all use the same universal Math, unlike language where we fight instead. Could it be related to the scientistic scientificness, these "language issues" (I do not hear "math issues" said with the same voice, except maybe in Astronomical Quantum Theory "issues", whereas for language it's always "issues" across the board)?

Even in medical science, there is a requirement for recognition of what we really can prove, blood tests and DNA, versus by-chance knowledge from singular and rare biological phenomena/disorders and problems which have theory but are not given credibility as worthy of funding a Scientific Experiment, because there are significant gaps in what can be proven.

That is not to say Linguistics has not tried to formulate why some mouth movement and hearing issue ties exactly to the written form, but is it Rocket Science?

Are rules, standards, repetitions and patterns of how we speak and right so well known enough to be science? Are we saying Science, like Rocket Science?

What efforts have been made to denote the parts of Language that are actually provable by Scientific Formulae and Controlled Experiments, instead of hearsay and references that are trusted as source of the Word. I know that we do not have contact with the universe at the stage of the Big Bang, but we are very careful to make claims about what we know as evidence. I expect to hear NASA say it does not know the Math for some scientific phenomen, yet from English leaders there is almost a confidence game of speaking, because there is not much admittal of what is not actually done by controlled experiment?

My research is having asked Are rules and standards (patterns and repetitions) of language and grammar sane, scientific, psychological, mentally healthy, good and/or reality-tested? as I study grammatology (asking how it is empirical and longitudinal a study, language effects being by certain rules). I apologize for my original edit version being somewhat abstract, and hope I can edit to make sense, err, make math...

When I hear "Science", I was taught to expect evidence and repeatability to a degree that is beyond doubt, which applies to Hard Sciences not Soft Sciences, so which one is Language applied for the average human being. Is a human being who gets/solves a math problem right, the "guaranteed" level, of a human being who gets a word problem correctly?

Should I trust word order like a computable math order?

Is deterministic math, an identical linguistic determination?

Or, is the question best asked as if the (English?) language is a Hard Science versus a Soft Science, is comparing/contrasting to Math a valid question/point?

~~Why has language change not had the same stories/experiences as paradigmical math changes?~~

~~Why is counting so important for math, yet not counting for in language? I mean, WordPerfect gives the pretense of Word/Letter Count having a place, but we do not learn that as a form of mathematical precision.~~

I realize there are not any (0) https://linguistics.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/math questions.

Linguistics is a science of language, now how is language a science? I mean, should I trust my English teacher as much as my Math teacher to be able to specify letter and word order to a T, with the same rigor and absoluteness that Math "guarantees"?

Link/tag for Grammaticality "In theoretical linguistics, grammaticality is the quality of a linguistic utterance of being grammatically well-formed." --- because I don't have enough credit to add "Grammatology" topic.
