SUMMARY:

Linguistic studies at the interface of Language and Law are increasingly gaining more ground as the textual discursive genres in the sphere of law prove to be fertile terrain for textual discursive analysis, revealing strategies and relevant linguistic elements. From this perspective, this thesis aims to identify, describe, analyze and interpret the phenomenon of Point of View (POV) and Enunciative Responsibility (ER) in witness statements of violence against women, a textual discursive genre in the legal domain. To this end, we select six witness statements of crimes committed in Natal that date from 2014 to 2017. The methodological angle we follow is an approach that is qualitative and interpretivist in nature, using an inductive method of analysis. The theory that supports, this study relies on Textual Discourse Analysis (TDA), which has its origins in the realm of Textual Linguistics (TL) and Enunciative Linguistics (EL). In accordance with Adam (2011), we consider the text in its indissociable relationship with the co(n)text, the discourse, and with  the diverse discursive textual genres. The work is based on studies regarding Point of View (POV) by Rabatel (1997, 2004, 2005, 2008, 2008a, 2009, 2015, 2016), in light of their relevance in studies of enunciative responsibility; and on the premises of Guentchéva (1994, 1996, 2011, 2014) about the manifestation of the Mediative (MED) category. In this context, we also follow the studies of authors in Textual Linguistics, among them, Rodrigues, Passegi and Silva Neto (2014), as well as Lourenço (2013), Gomes (2014), Cabral (2014, 2016), Medeiros and Rodrigues (2018), and Rodrigues (2017, 2018). From the analyses, we verify, with regard to the compositional structure, that the text plan is occasional, given that not all of the witness statements have recurring fixed parts. It was possible to identify and interpret the point of view of the witness-speaker and the second enunciators. For this, we considered the linguistic-textual resources, such as marks of enunciative responsibility, in accordance with Adam (2011), or rather, we moored our analysis on spatial and temporal deitic linguistic marks, different types of representations of speech, indications of mediating frames, and indications of a support of related perceptions and thoughts, which point to, at times, the assumption of enunciative responsibility, and at others, to an almost enunciative responsibility. Insofar as the witnesses were present at the time of the aggression, we observed that they took responsibility, and assumed enunciative responsibility, and when they did not see the fact, they imposed on the victim the responsibility for the propositional content said. Therefore, the results of this research provided a broader understanding of the textual, discursive and enunciative elements in witness statements, contributing to lingustic analysis in general, since effectively understanding them helps in the production and comprehension of this genre.
