Abstract

This article explores the linguistic and pragmatic strategies in Nahuatl. It analyses how the discourse of a trial reflects tensions that arise in collective interactions and how these tensions influence the discursive strategies that people use when delivering justice. Through the analysis of the language, it is possible to know the linguistic characteristics used in trials and the intentions that motivate speakers to use such features. This research contributes both to the descriptive study of this language and to the anthropological analysis that addresses the language-culture relationship.
