used by the interlocutors and the meaning effects produced in specific situations of
statements taken by former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva during Operation Lava
Jato. As specific objectives, we outline the following: to unveil and describe the -
discursive- argumentative mechanisms employed by the former president and by the
Law operators involved in the enunciative scene; identify regularities and dispersions
in the configuration of the testimony-taking genre; to show which characteristics of
the spoken language are present in the discursive-textual genre taking testimony and
what is its role or function in the process of preservation/maintenance of the face,
both in the deponent's pole and in that of the Law operators involved in the
interaction. We use a textual-interactive approach to spoken language, based on
Conversation Analysis (CA), in an interface work with Forensic Linguistics, in addition
to contributions from other areas of knowledge. The testimonies, in a total of four,
were cut, by selecting statements relevant to the research objectives, and transcribed
according to CA conventions established by Preti (2002, p. 15-16), resulting in an
analysis corpus composed of 23 clippingsof the four testimonies, given to different
interlocutors/lawyers and at different stages/dates of the Operation. Thus, this thesis
was organized into six sections, the first of which is the Introduction, in which we
present our work proposal. In the second section, we place the studies about the
taking of testimony in the national scenario. In the third, we present the contexts for
the production of sayings. In the fourth, we discuss the relationship between
Language and Law, bringing the principles of Conversation Analysis and Forensic
Linguistics, among other constructs. In the fifth section, we outline the research paths
and carry out the analysis and discussion of the data, as well as presenting an end to
the analytical threads. Finally, in section six, we bring the answers to the questions
discussed in this work, highlighting that most of the argumentative-discursive
strategies employed by the former president in the construction of the statements
were: creation of credibility effects, use of preterition, the degree of severity , of
linguistic resources of Rhetoric, in addition to self-victimization, self-exaltation and
blaming the other, aiming at maintaining or enhancing their positive face, as well as
mitigating possible negative effects on their public image in order to achieve double
success: inside and outside the court, given that the virtual context overlapped the
immediate context (here/now) in the analyzed interactions. Thus, recognizing the role
of the context of interactions in disclosing power relations (LINDSTROM, 1992), we
validate the thesis that the effect of the interlocutor in absentia in the context of the
statements taken by former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is superimposed on
the immediate context of face-to-face interactions.
Keywords: Conversation Analysis; Language and Law; face-to-face interactions in
forensic context; Operação Lava Jato.
