TIPOLOGII ȘI NIVELURI DE ANALIZĂ ALE PLEDOARIEI JUDICIARE

This paper offers a lexical, semantic and aesthetic analysis perspective of one of the most representative types of defence speeches, rich and generous to explore from the point of  view of its evolution from written to oral forms, distinguished by a lot of marks of improvisation and expressive features.  The notion of ‘’plea’’ in its lexical, semantic, stylistic and aesthetic aspects reveals curious, interesting and new facts about the judicial power of language. In this context, a large collection of judicial writings from the XVth to XXth centuries, belonging to the french judicial history proves the influence of philosophical thinking on different types of texts of law, defence speeches or pleas. Their structure is basically distinguished by the a large use of philosophemes – atemporal inalterable marks having the quality of being uninfluenced, unchanged and ungoverned by time.
