Question OK. What I have to ask is a little strange, but I have been looking for studies based on language being converted to mathematics, or another way of putting it is a model of language which is strictly math based. The reason I am asking is because I have found a lot on the subject of logic and math or logic and language but nothing on math modeling language specifically, thank you for you time. Jeremy K.

I'm not sure I understand what it is that you really want. Certainly in logic, there are well-established techniques for discussing the language of logic itself. See any good textbook on Goedel's Theorem (say, Boolos, Burgess, and Jeffrey, Computability and Logic) for more on this. If it's natural language in which you are interested, then you might find the work of Richard Montague interesting. Montague was one of the first to try to extend logical techniques to provide a semantics for natural language. And then, of course, there is contemporary theoretical linguistics more generally.
