Resumo: | This work is part of a larger investigation whose scope is the study of the legal discourse in the judgment genre. Among the various hypotheses that have been put forward, the importance of analyzing some linguistic instances of politeness in this kind of text was evidenced, as an element of construction of the interactional relationship and, within this, of two poles in the interpersonal hierarchy: the pole of the defendant (s) and the pole of the other juridical entities, members of the judicial process, portrayed in the speech as occupying a higher hierarchical level. In fact, the reading of second and third instance judgments, in which decisions of first instance courts are reanalyzed, made it possible to verify that, when there is a correction and annulment of a previous decision, the reference to the instance that took it is made by using various elements of politeness (such as nominal expressions, adjectives, adverbs and other linguistic expressions) which mitigate the fact that the decision is being annulled. There is also occurrence of elements of social deixis as a way of raising these entities or their stakeholders. On the other hand, as has noted the study made for the Spanish context by the Spanish Ministry of Justice (2011) “Claridad y derecho a comprender: Comisión para la modernización del lengaje jurídico”, references to defendants and to those who do not belong to the judicial social sphere are made in a less solemn way than those used to refer to legal/judicial agents, in particular as far as forms of treatment are concerned (but not ending there). Despite the fact that the judgment is recorded in written support, we adopt the perspective of Bakhtine & Volochinov (1977), and other authors ever since, for whom all discourses, even those that appear to be monological, are, by their semantic and stylistic structure, dialogic. In the written judgment there is no conventional dialogue, with verbal interaction, between the magistrate and the accused / applicant and between the magistrate and other magistrates, but there is a latent dialogue, which implies the construction of a relationship between I and one or several YOU’s. We undertake this work through the study of diverse categories of linguistic analysis, such as personal pronouns, verbal inflection (person and number), nominal and adjectival expressions, among others, using software VISL (Visual Interactive Syntax Learning) to map the corpus. |

De entre as várias hipóteses de trabalho que se têm colocado, evidenciou-se a importância de analisar algumas instâncias linguísticas da cortesia neste género de texto, enquanto elemento de construção da relação interacional e, dentro desta, de dois polos na hierarquia interpessoal: o polo do(s) arguido(s)/requerentes e o polo das outras entidades jurídicas, integrantes do processo judicial, retratadas no discurso como ocupando um nível hierárquico superior. Com efeito, a leitura de acórdãos de 2.ª e 3.ª instância, nos quais se analisam decisões de tribunais de 1.ª instância, tornou possível verificar que, quando há correção e anulação de uma decisão anterior, a referência à instância que a tomou é feita com recurso a vários elementos de cortesia, (como expressões nominais, adjetivais e adverbiais, entre outras expressões linguísticas), que mitigam o facto de se estar a proceder a uma anulação da decisão tomada. Há ainda, recurso a elementos de deixis social como forma de elevação dessas entidades ou dos seus intervenientes. Por outro lado, como já haviam notado os autores do estudo patrocinado pelo Ministério da Justiça espanhol (2011), “Claridad y derecho a comprender: Comisión para la modernización del lengaje jurídico”, as referências aos arguidos e àqueles que não pertencem à esfera social judicial são feitas de modo menos solene do que aquelas empregues para referir agentes jurídicos / judiciais, designadamente no que tange a formas de tratamento (mas não se esgotando aí). Pese embora o facto de o acórdão ficar registado em suporte escrito, adotamos a perspetiva de Bakhtine e Volochinov (1977) e outros autores desde então, para quem todos os discursos, mesmo aqueles que aparentemente são monologais, são, pela sua estrutura semântica e estilística, dialógicos. No acórdão escrito não há um diálogo convencional, com interação verbal, entre o magistrado e os arguidos/requerentes e entre o magistrado e outros magistrados, mas existe um diálogo latente, que implica a construção de uma relação entre um Eu e um, ou vários, Tu(s). Empreendemos este trabalho através do estudo, nos textos, de categorias de análise linguística diversas, como pronomes pessoais, flexão verbal (pessoa e número), expressões nominais e adjetivais, entre outras, empregando para mapeamento do corpus o software VISL (Visual Interactive Syntax Learning).Redis: Revista de Estudos do Discurso2018-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.letras.up.pt/index.php/re/article/view/6202Redis: Revista de Estudos do Discurso; N.º 7 (2018): REDIS: Revista de Estudos do Discurso; 142-1622183-3958reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://ojs.letras.up.pt/index.php/re/article/view/6202https://ojs.letras.up.pt/index.php/re/article/view/6202/5837Direitos de Autor (c) 2019 Redis: Revista de Estudos do discursoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTeixeira, JoanaPinto, Alexandra Guedes2023-01-13T11:15:35ZPortal AgregadorONG |

This work is part of a larger investigation whose scope is the study of the legal discourse in the judgment genre. Among the various hypotheses that have been put forward, the importance of analyzing some linguistic instances of politeness in this kind of text was evidenced, as an element of construction of the interactional relationship and, within this, of two poles in the interpersonal hierarchy: the pole of the defendant (s) and the pole of the other juridical entities, members of the judicial process, portrayed in the speech as occupying a higher hierarchical level. In fact, the reading of second and third instance judgments, in which decisions of first instance courts are reanalyzed, made it possible to verify that, when there is a correction and annulment of a previous decision, the reference to the instance that took it is made by using various elements of politeness (such as nominal expressions, adjectives, adverbs and other linguistic expressions) which mitigate the fact that the decision is being annulled. There is also occurrence of elements of social deixis as a way of raising these entities or their stakeholders. On the other hand, as has noted the study made for the Spanish context by the Spanish Ministry of Justice (2011) “Claridad y derecho a comprender: Comisión para la modernización del lengaje jurídico”, references to defendants and to those who do not belong to the judicial social sphere are made in a less solemn way than those used to refer to legal/judicial agents, in particular as far as forms of treatment are concerned (but not ending there). Despite the fact that the judgment is recorded in written support, we adopt the perspective of Bakhtine & Volochinov (1977), and other authors ever since, for whom all discourses, even those that appear to be monological, are, by their semantic and stylistic structure, dialogic. In the written judgment there is no conventional dialogue, with verbal interaction, between the magistrate and the accused / applicant and between the magistrate and other magistrates, but there is a latent dialogue, which implies the construction of a relationship between I and one or several YOU’s.
