Abstract
The commentary on the chapters of Gerofsky, of Bazzini and Sabena and of Gana and Stathopoulou emphasises the importance of transforming the relationship between people and mathematics education. It synthesises the three chapters by pointing to semiotic perspectives as crucial to our understanding of mathematics education practices and research.
