This book presents a constitutive approach to controversy based on
a discourse analysis of news texts, focusing on the role of
journalists as participants who shape public controversy for
readers. Drawing data from the Reuters Corpus, the project
identifies formulas that journalists use in reporting controversy
and draws conclusions about how these serve professional and
textual functions and how they shape public controversy as a
natural, historical, and pragmatic event. While the traditions of
dialectic and rhetoric have focused on the prescriptive aim of
training participants to resolve controversies in philosophical
dialogue or public debate settings, this orientation has tended to
preempt questions about where controversy is located and how it is
shaped. This project contributes to descriptive, ethnographic
research about controversy, using discourse analysis to address a
problem in argumentation.
