This volume gives a theoretical account of the problem of analyzing
and evaluating argumentative discourse. After placing argumentation
in a communicative perspective, and then discussing the fallacies
that occur when certain rules of communication are violated, the
authors offer an alternative to both the linguistically-inspired
descriptive and logically-inspired normative approaches to
argumentation.
The authors characterize argumentation as a complex speech act in
a critical discussion aimed at resolving a difference of opinion.
The various stages of a critical discussion are outlined, and the
communicative and interactional aspects of the speech acts
performed in resolving a simple or complex dispute are discussed.
After dealing with crucial aspects of analysis and linking the
evaluation of argumentative discourse to the analysis, the authors
identify the fallacies that can occur at various stages of
discussion. Their general aim is to elucidate their own pragma-
dialectical perspective on the analysis and evaluation of
argumentative discourse, bringing together pragmatic insight
concerning speech acts and dialectical insight concerning critical
discussion.
