Lexicogramatical choices featuring an authentic oral interaction in English have not received proper attention yet. This research compares spoken English (dialogues taken from two interviews on CBS s program Late Night Show with David Letterman) and its translation into Portuguese, on the corresponding subtitles. I take into consideration the fact that subtitles must follow rules that include their length, and, thus, their linguistic content may not always be identical to the original, and is in general shorter. What matters to my research is, then, to determine the characteristics of the omitted material. Of the three meanings construed by thee language Ideational, Interpersonal and Textual I analyse the second, taking into account that a clause organizes information as an interactive event (Interpersonal function). In this context, I focus on the linguistic expectations, specially politeness. Linguistic Expectation involves, among other factors, the appropriate level of formality to the linguistic context of situation and culture that must be respected, otherwise risking failure in communication. The examination of interactions is going to focus primarily on: Modality (involving Modalization and Modulation) and Appraisal (involving explicit or implicit evaluation of the message or the interlocutors). The research should answer the following questions: (a) What is the difference between English and Portuguese speakers concerning specially politeness? (b) What roles do Modality and Appraisal have in the process? The analysis relies on the theoretical and methodological approach of the Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG). Research shows that there are differences both in lexicogrammatical choices that carry out politeness and in the frequency of their use
