AGUERO SAN JUAN, Claudio Antonio  y  ZAMBRANO TIZNADO, Juan Pablo. Integración metodológica para el estudio del texto de las sentencias penales chilenas. Convergencia [online]. 2010, vol.17, n.54, pp.69-91. ISSN 2448-5799.

We propose a methodology to describe the structure and operation of the text "Chilean criminal sentence" and to evaluate the quality of its argumentation. The relevance of these procedures lies in the sentence is a paradigmatic case of the way in which societies build good and bad things. By virtue of genre specificity and linguistic register of text study, we incorporate pragma-dialectic, Systematic Functional Linguistics and Modified Wigmorean Analysis elements, in order to supply individual disadvantages of every methodology and to optimize its advantages. This paper superficially reviews the critical system which supports every single of the strategies analysis and later, by means of the study of a fragment of a real sentence, it proves the alignment of methodologies' feasibility and comes to an end analyzing the possibility of using this integration in order to make inter-textual and inter-discursive comparisons.
