This paper deals with aspects of language learning in settings planned for mathematical learning by kindergarten teachers. Using qualitative and linguistic analysis tools, we reconstruct patterns of language use and the language sensitive organization of kindergarten teachers. We mainly focus on the children's language use, particularly on semantic deviations in utterances in relation to the mathematical negotiation process.
