Fatores de textualidade em petições jurídicas e a coesão sequencial na construção do texto argumentativo

Abstract

The legal petition is an important working tool for the right operator. Through this genre, predominantly argumentative, much of communication in the judiciary is realized. We argue that the lawyer should know, analyze, reflect and safely use the seven factors of textuality proposed by Text Linguistics so you can ensure the consistency of their legal petitions and thus achieve its primary purpose: to persuade the reader. We devote special attention to the sequential cohesion believing it to be an important organizational resource text and argumentative reinforcement. This work has the aim of evidence that these linguistic elements should be used strategically by the text of the producer in order to contribute to the pro-procedural success. In an attempt to illustrate the textual construction, through the contribution of the seven textuality factors, we will dedicate a section to the analysis of five petitions process which is being processed in Small Claims Court. Thus, it is believed to be achieved in order to help those who work with forensic deal through argumentative text and contribute to the study of Text Linguistics.
