In this thesis, I develop and illustrate a descriptive and explanatory architecture of the cognitive processes involved in the operations of apprehension of meaningful units, treatment and conversion of registers of semiotic representation grounded in notions of goal conciliation and relevance. I develop this architecture in three stages. In the first stage, I carry out a critical review of Duval‟s (2009, 2011) theory of registers of semiotic representation. In the second stage, I present the foundations of Sperber and Wilson‟s (1986/1995) relevance theory to describe and explain the cognitive processes described by Duval. In the third stage, I consider Rauen‟s (2014) notion of goal conciliation, in order to apply the model in an activity of interpretation of a quadratic function defined in the set of natural numbers, which was made by undergraduate students in Mathematics. The study leads to make the following conclusions. Cognitive and communicative relationships of relevance, guided by the concept of goal conciliation, underlie the identification of meaningful units, the treatment and conversion of registers of semiotic representation in the process of teaching and learning in Mathematics. Moreover, the presumption of optimal relevance and the comprehension procedure guided by the notion of relevance are applicable to the apprehension and processing of meaningful units of any register of semiotic representation in Mathematics, as well as their treatments and conversions, taking into account the first conclusion. Finally, the expertise in the coordination of different registers of semiotic representation in congruent and not congruent conversion processes is indicative of a more qualified apprehension of mathematical objects, considering the previous conclusions.
