Resumo: Law is a heterogeneous domain, in which there are different texts and multiple discourses, stemming from different authors, addressed to different recipients, in very different contexts. ‘Legal language’ is a generic term which therefore encompasses distinct legal languages, languages whose specificity, complexity and interrelation have only recently attracted researchers. Starting from the notions of ‘register’ and ‘genre’, the present work tests a possible definition of the concept of legal language and characterizes a particular juridical genre: the Civil Code and the Penal Code in force in the Portuguese legal system, reviewing some of the lexical, morphological, syntactic-semantic and textual traits that are exhibited by this genre. The analysis of this textual genre shows that the internal structuring of these texts reflects the communicative purposes and the organizational objectives of the professional community that uses these Legal Codes. This study also contributes to the discussion around the different legal genres.

A designação genérica de ‘linguagem jurídica’ subsume, portanto, distintas linguagens do Direito, linguagens cuja especificidade, complexidade e inter-relação só recentemente têm atraído os investigadores. Partindo das noções de ‘registo’ e de ‘género’, o presente trabalho ensaia uma possível definição do conceito de linguagem jurídica e caracteriza um género jurídico particular: o Código Civil e o Código Penal em vigor no ordenamento jurídico português, passando em revista alguns dos traços lexicais, morfológicos, sintático-semânticos e textuais que neste género se evidenciam. A análise deste género textual permite verificar de que modo a estruturação interna destes textos reflete os propósitos comunicativos e os objetivos organizacionais da comunidade profissional que os utiliza. Este estudo contribui também para a discussão em torno dos diferentes géneros jurídicos.Redis: Revista de Estudos do Discurso2018-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.letras.up.pt/index.php/re/article/view/6200Redis: Revista de Estudos do Discurso; N.º 7 (2018): REDIS: Revista de Estudos do Discurso; 91-1192183-395810.21747/21833958/red7reponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPporhttps://ojs.letras.up.pt/index.php/re/article/view/6200https://ojs.letras.up.pt/index.php/re/article/view/6200/5835Direitos de Autor (c) 2019 Redis: Revista de Estudos do discursoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCarapinha, Conceição2023-11-24T11:15:38Zoai:ojs.letras.up.pt/ojs:article/6200Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T10:46:13.954780Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
