A prática de (re)formulação como estratégia argumentativa em situação de conflito

The article analyzes actual data of talk-in-interaction in a conflict situation and proposes to combine the formulation practice in ethnomethodological Conversation Analysis to the interactional perspective of argument. In a pilot qualitative case study, we follow the trajectory of an argumentative process of a combined sale in a conciliation hearing at PROCON. We specifically show how the (re)formulations are connected to the (re)introduction of positions and supports. We argue that both complement each other because, as the argument is a basic function of language and central in the legal world, the formulation is also an important practice because it is present in all contexts. We defend interaction as a privileged locus of human experience. Keywords: formulation practice, argumentative strategy, interaction in conflict situation.
