SUMMARY:

Analyzing the juridical genre labor sentence regarding the phenomenon of enunciative responsibility is our purpose in this work. We aim to identify, describe, analyze and interpret: a) the compositional structure of the labor sentence, focusing on the text plan; b) the points of view articulated in the decision; and c) the linguistic markers related to the enunciative responsibility of the first speaker/enunciator (S1/E1). In this way, we executed a research with a qualitative approach, fundamentally interpretative, and with documentary analysis through the inductive method. Our corpus consists of thirteen labor sentences, one from each Labor Court of Natal-RN (Brazil), linked to the Tribunal Regional do Trabalho/Regional Labor Court of the 21st Region (TRT21), responsible for promoting justice in labor relations in the state of Rio Grande do Norte (RN). We selected the sentences considering the following criteria: 1) that the sentence is a definitive one; 2) that it follows the common procedural rite; 3) that it addresses a claim for moral damages; and 4) that it has been judged between 2018 and 2020. For data collection, we resorted to the website www.trt21.jus.br, which is publicly accessible. The research is based on the theoretical postulates of Textual Analysis of Discourse, specifically Enunciative Responsibility, with Adam (2011), Rodrigues (2016, 2017), Passeggi et al. (2010) and Rabatel (2017), in dialogue with linguistic theories related to the Point of View, with Rabatel (2013, 2016), and the Text Plan, with Adam (2011, 2021, 2022), Rodrigues and Marquesi (2021), Marquesi (2016), among others. Data analysis points to the following preliminary results: the assumption of enunciative responsibility by the judge, as the first speaker/enunciator, can be verified mainly by the spatial deictic terms and by modalities and verbs in the first person singular, which is present in the largest part of the sentences, namely in the reasoning and in the device sections. When there is no assumption of enunciative responsibility, which happens in the smallest part of the sentences, that is, in the report section, the judge uses direct and indirect speech, introduced by verbs of speaking (verba dicendi),  attributing the responsibility for what was said to second speaker/enunciator (S2/E2), such as to the claimant, the defendant, the Federal Constitution, the TRT (Tribunal Regional do Trabalho/Regional Labor Court) and TST (Tribunal Superior do Trabalho/ Superior Labor Court) decisions and to medical report. As for the point of view, we found that the linguistic markers point to the argumentative orientation of the judge, in the sense of condemning the defendant to pay compensation for moral damages, prevailing in the sentence the point of view narrated and represented in the report and asserted in the reasoning of the magistrate.
