SUMMARY:

Contemporary research on linguistic-discursive strategies in concrete legal texts encourages scientific inclinations at the intersection of Language and Law. This intersection has the linguistic potential to understand language in use and to produce possible social control effects. Therefore, our main objective is to investigate enunciation and argumentation in bills and ordinary laws, considering the pragmatic dimension for interpreting legal genres. As specific goals, we aim to identify, describe, analyze, and interpret: a) the text structure and textual sequences of the genres; b) the enunciative responsibility and polyphonic cohesion in the data; c) the argumentative orientation of the textual material; and d) the pragmatic elements mobilized in the texts for understanding meanings. This work is grounded in the theoretical-methodological proposal of Textual Discourses Analysis, drawing from Adam (2011, 2019, 2022), focusing on the study of enunciation, argumentation, and pragmatics. It is supported by Marcuschi (2002), Koch (2001), Rodrigues, Passeggi, and Silva Neto (2010, 2014), Cabral (2013, 2015), Marquesi (2014, 2016, 2017), Marquesi, Elias, and Cabral (2017), Pinto (2017), Jurach (2017), Souza (2020), and Rodrigues (2022). From a theoretical point of view of Enunciation, we follow Benveniste (1989), Authier-Revuz (1990), Guentchéva (1994, 1996, 2011), Adam (1992, 1997, 2002, 2011), Flores (2008, 2011, 2016), Rabatel (2009, 2015, 2016, 2021), Fiorin (2016), Passeggi et al. (2010), Rodrigues (2017), Rodrigues and Marquesi (2021), and the proponents of the Scandinavian Theory of Linguistic Polyphony – ScaPoLine – Nølke, Fløttum, and Norén (2001). For Argumentation, we follow Aristotle's Rhetoric (1959), Ducrot (1987, 1988, 1989, 1999), Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca (2005), Amossy (2005, 2008, 2011), Pinto (2010), and Cavalcante et al. (2020). For Pragmatics, we adopt Austin (1962, 1990), Searle (1969, 1976, 1985, 1995a, 1995b), Vanderveken (1985, 1997, 2016), Adam (2020), Silva (2021, 2022), and the Pragma-Dialectics of Eemeren (2004). This doctoral research adopts a qualitative, interpretative approach, using the inductive method of analysis, and is exploratory and documentary in nature. Our examination found that the text structure follows a fixed plan according to current legislation, organized through textual sequences: descriptive, mainly in the initial and final statements of the texts; narrative, used as arguments in the justifications of the proposals; explanatory, embedded in bills and laws to support argumentation; and argumentative, marked in the prototypical sequential arrangements and at the macro level of the text, contributing to the argumentative focus of the texts and the communicative prototype of the genres. Regarding enunciation, we found that language markers and voices in the texts indicate varying levels of engagement of the enunciators with the propositional content, analyzed on a scale from minimal commitment expressions to the presence of signatures as a maximum assumption by the authors. Thus, these levels of analysis indicate the argumentative orientation of statements towards the pragmatic dimension of language, enhancing the understanding of the performative meaning of legal texts in their usage context. Therefore, bills and ordinary laws represent manifestations of language used by legal practitioners in communicative situations to formalize intentions that promote access to justice. Through language, we establish interpersonal relationships, rights, duties, and, above all, perform speech acts with performative aims that determine social actions and changes in a legally organized world.
