- Title
Primera persona del plural en los juicios orales. Valor representativo y estrategia atenuante.
- Authors

- Abstract
The goal of this article is double. Firstly, we aim to study the values the first person plural can develop in Spanish oral trials and, secondly, we will examine whether is possible to identify mitigating uses associated with this referential mechanism. After analyzing our corpus following a qualitative and quantitative methodology, we have observed that the use of the first person plural in this genre is not only prompted by the representative character of the Spanish legal system or to the constrictions of the discursive tradition. Usually, the use of first person plural (especially the plural of modesty and the associative plural) codifies an attenuating value oriented to attain a discursive goal, such as the negotiation of the acceptability of the ideas or the protection of the speakers' faces.
