This paper is a summary of the work and discussions of Thematic Working Group (TWG) on Mathematics and Language. In this paper we provide an overview of both the presentations within the working group and of the main themes arising through the discussions. We highlight the diversity and richness of theoretical approaches, methodologies and research foci that lead to the rich discussions we have at CERME conferences. This richness also arose through a joint working session with TWG01 on argumentation and proof that brought different perspectives to the analysis of argumentation in interaction. We also consider the impact of the global pandemic on our data collection but also on the focus of our research within TWG09.
