| Summary: | This work is in the line of Conversation Analysis concerning institutional types of asymmetrical situations (Drew & Heritage, 1992; Orletti, 2000) and, particularly, judicial oral interactions (Mariottini, 2013a, 2013b). The aim is to investigate the uses and the interactional and social functions of the metacommunicative practices here occurring. Data proceed from COrAL – Corpus Oral de Ámbito Legal (Oral Corpus of Legal Context; Mariottini, forthcoming), composed by transcriptions of (video)recordings of oral trials, whose current extension is 22 hours and 53 minutes. The result of the qualitative analysis carried out for this article is to identify different types of formulations and to propose a classification according to interactional and social functions played by each type.
