As ações avaliativas da mediadora no contexto familiar judicial

Abstract

This work is inserted in the panorama of Applied Linguistics of professions (Sarangi, 2006), looking beyond the academic setting of the universities and establish contact to the study of language and professional environments. We focus on the legal profession and the mediator. In this sense, we undertook our study of qualitative and interpretive, based on data mediation endoprocessual, generated in a family court of the state of Rio de Janeiro. In our research, we've had the colaboration of the mediator in the case discussion and interpretation of data which gives a collaborative nature (Sarangi, 2001) to work. As the research method chosen, use the case study through which we base our analysis on detailed investigations of a phenomenon in a specific setting. Given this institutional context, we seek to map and describe the actions of assessment of mediator, since the juridical manuals postulate that the mediator should be a neutral and impartial and should not manipulate the argumentation (Salles, 2004). However, looking at mediation real data, we find actions of assessments (Goodwin and Goodwin, 1987) of the mediator, which, strictly speaking no "should" occur, because it involves give an opinion or value judgments. (Linde, 2007). Finally, our work has a talk-in-interaction perspective which has, in turns of talk and on the transcripts, the analytical basis to talk about the behavior of the mediator.
