dc.description.abstractWithin the field of mathematics education, the central role language plays in the learning, teaching, and doing of mathematics is increasingly recognized, but there is not agreement about what this role (or these roles) might be or even about what the term ‘language’ itself encompasses. In this issue of ZDM we have compiled a collection of scholarship on language in mathematics education research, representing a range of approaches to the topic. In this introduction we outline a categorisation of ways of conceiving of language and its relevance to mathematics education, the theoretical resources drawn upon to systematise these conceptions, and the methodological approaches employed by researchers. We will also identify some outstanding issues and questions and suggest some ways of building upon the diversity in order to strengthen the coherence of the field and the utility of its outcomes.en_ZA
