Resumo: This paper aims to investigate the exercise of institutional power through questions presented by former judge Sergio Moro in former president Luiz Inácio “Lula” da Silva’s questioning in may 2017. For this, the questions asked by the former judge at that moment will be analyzed. Questioning is a well-known tool in Linguistics to exercise power, however, regarding the defendant’s questioning, no research on Brazilian judicial setting was found. In order to contribute to this research gap, this paper investigates, by means of mixed methods, the control the former judge exercises through his questions, and the extent to which the former judge’s utterances have adversarial traits. This study draws on Teun A. van Dijk’s (2018) approach to critical discourse studies as the main underlying framework. The results show the former judge’s questioning style on that questioning carries accusatory traits and resembles police interviews.

Para isso, serão analisadas as perguntas feitas pelo ex-juiz naquele momento. A forma como as perguntas são elaboradas é uma ferramenta de exercício de poder conhecida na Linguística, no entanto, no que tange à oitiva do acusado, ainda não há pesquisas no âmbito do Judiciário brasileiro. Para contribuir com essa área, o presente artigo investiga, quantitativa e qualitativamente, como as perguntas exerceram controle sobre a fala do acusado e até que ponto há características de confrontação nas falas do ex-juiz. O estudo tem como pressuposto teórico os estudos críticos do discurso desenvolvidos por Teun A. van Dijk (2018). Os resultados mostram que o estilo de fazer perguntas adotado pelo ex- -juiz naquele episódio tem traços acusatórios e lembra interrogatórios policiais.Escola de Direito de São Paulo da Fundação Getulio Vargas2023-03-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/revdireitogv/article/view/89119Revista Direito GV; Vol. 19 (2023): 2023; e2310Revista Direito GV; Vol. 19 (2023): 2023; e2310Revista Direito GV; v. 19 (2023): 2023; e23102317-6172reponame:Revista Direito GVinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/revdireitogv/article/view/89119/83723Cabral, Déborainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-09-27T12:39:14Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/89119Revistahttps://direitosp.fgv.br/publicacoes/revista/revista-direito-gvPRIhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.php||revistadireitogv@fgv.br|| catarina.barbieri@fgv.br2317-61721808-2432opendoar:2023-09-27T12:39:14Revista Direito GV - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)false
