Sustenta-se que uma avalia\u00e7\u00e3o rigorosa de tais caracter\u00edsticas torna expl\u00edcitas algumas limita\u00e7\u00f5es relevantes ao processo comunicativo entre o falante (a autoridade legislativa) e os ouvintes (os destinat\u00e1rios da norma). Nossa reivindica\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e9 dupla. Por um lado, no que diz respeito aos conte\u00fados proposicionais expressos, afirmamos que as caracter\u00edsticas espec\u00edficas da express\u00e3o das normas limitam \u00abo que\u00bb pode ser pronunciado de forma adequada ao expressar normas. Por outro lado, essas limita\u00e7\u00f5es impactam na compreens\u00e3o do que foi enunciado. Partindo do princ\u00edpio de que as teorias da interpreta\u00e7\u00e3o funcionam como metaexplica\u00e7\u00f5es (ou seja, explica\u00e7\u00f5es de interpreta\u00e7\u00f5es), sustentamos que quanto maior for a coer\u00eancia entre uma teoria e os invariantes dos fen\u00f3menos que ela pretende explicar, melhor ser\u00e1. Ap\u00f3s revis\u00e3o das teorias de interpreta\u00e7\u00e3o mais relevantes, afirmamos que algumas teorias evidenciam baixo poder explicativo, pois suas premissas s\u00e3o incoerentes com o explanandum. Conclu\u00edmos afirmando que, pelas raz\u00f5es opostas, o textualismo \u00e9 a teoria da interpreta\u00e7\u00e3o que evidencia o maior poder explicativo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"imagem-da-publicacao":"https:\/\/lisbonpubliclaw.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/noimage.png","areas-de-investigacao":"Teoria do Direito","investigador-responsavel":[],"editor-externo":"","editor":["1759"],"autores-externos":"David Duarte","referencia-biografica":"DUARTE, David; MONIZ LOPES, Pedro: \u201cThe Expression of Norms as a Speech Act: Assessing the Explanatory Power of Theories of Interpretation\u201d.
