This thesis has a focus on the study of contrastive structures in Portuguese Language. Considerations about contrast under the view of Traditional Grammar, Discourse Analysis and Argumentative Semantics are developed here in a bibliography research. Three different kinds of texts from Law are used in our corpus (the initial request, the contestation and the final claim) in order to observe in which moments these contrastive structures appear and to observe which function they have in discourse. The method to select this corpus was aleatory and in it we found 475 statements from 69 pieces of lawsuit from four different areas (labour, civil, tributary and penal). In the last chapter, two pieces, one initial request and one contestation, were chosen to be analyzed more particularly in the following aspects: relevancy of contrast to this kind of lawsuit text and its interference in the arguments reception. From the analysis of these statements, we could see that contrast structures are very interesting to argumentation, because they bring to discourse other voices that establish a dialogue in discourse through one of the statement part or through implicit meanings. These voices may have two different aims: anticipating the thoughts of the one who will receive the discourse, to bring him to the side of the one who speaks, or retaking what someone else has told about something and establishing the contrast. We could also see, with this research, that when these structures are properly used, in addition with other discursive aspects, they give credibility to discourse, because they are marks of a well elaborated discourse. This research also showed that contrastive structures are not used so often in the juridical scene, for many reasons, as too much objectivity, lack of knowledge of its effects, lack of argumentation and bad elaboration of some texts. The most used structures are the adversatives, with mas. Among the concessives, the preference is the use of não obstante and its variants nada obstante and *inobstante (this one is not in the dictionary), instead of embora, more characteristic to the current use
