In this paper, we analyze, by means of the Goal Conciliation Theory, by Rauen 2014, and Relevance Theory, by Sperber and Wilson (1986, 1995), ostensive-inferential processes in excerpts of interpretation of Law 11.340, August 7, 2006, of Campos’ (2011) compilation “Lei Maria da Penha comentada em uma perspectiva jurídico-feminista” (Maria da Penha’s Law commented in a legal-feminist perspective). Specifically, we explore Dias and Reinheimer’s chapter “Da violência contra a mulher como uma violação de direitos humanos – artigo 6º” (Violence against women as a human rights violation – Article 6). We argue the authors conciliated the goal of producing a legal and feminist interpretation of the Article 6 of Maria da Penha’s Law extending the scope of the law to lesbians, transvestites, transsexuals and female transgender people, through an ad hoc interpretation of the lexical item ‘woman’ as a genre.
