The main goal of this work is to build a sketch on how language is used in mathematics classrooms. We specifically try to understand how teachers use language in order to share meanings with their students. We initially present our main intentions, summarizing some studies that are close to our purposes. The two theoretical frameworks which support our study – the Model of Semantic Fields and the Wittgensteinian “games of language” – are then presented and discussed about their similarities and distinctions. Our empirical data are some classroom activities recorded and turned into “clips”. Such clips were transcribed and our analysis was based on these transcriptions. Data analysis – developed according to our theoretical framework – allowed us to build the so-called “events” and, then, comment on some understandings on how language can be used in mathematics classrooms.
