| Popis: | The pragmatic, syntactic and semantic analysis of utterances produced by the teachers in the classroom context help to observe the position that is claimed by them within the interactional net, as well as the one that is proposed for the learners to occupy. This position depends on contextual constraints that are rooted both in the educational tradition(s) and in the social representations of the learning and teaching process. In our paper we present the results of the analysis of a corpus of authentic classroom talk collected during English classes in Portugal. The analysis focuses on verbal aspects (enunciative position and modalities – cf. Vion, 2001) that are related to the negotiation of the teacher’s face (cf. Goffman, 1974) and place (Brown & Levinson, 1987) within the interaction, as well as the kind of politeness strategies that s/ he uses to redress the learners’ faces. The research leads us to conclude that in spite of the official tendencies and ideologies, the traditional Social Order is still prevailing in the concrete educational field. Capucho Maria Filomena.
