Abstract

Supported by the theoretical and methodological approach of Conversation Analysis (SACKS, 1992), this paper investigates transcribed audio-recorded interactions between a judge and her interlocutors during cross-examination. In particular, it analyses sequences in which, via place descriptions (or place formulations) (SCHEGLOFF, 1972), participants negotiate intersubjectivity concerning geographical spaces (all related to where the alleged crimes took place), and about which the judge produces formulations (gist and upshot) (HERITAGE; WATSON, 1979). Formulations of understanding about the place descriptions show to be crucial within this context for the judge to make decisions about how to proceed in relation to the legal process in course. The analysis reveals that, by means of the practice of formulation, the judge implements different actions: (a) to raise doubts about the interlocutor’s qualification as a witness on behalf of the defendant; (b) to mediate understanding between other participants in the interaction; and (c) to verify the veracity of the facts presented by the interlocutor.
