Argumentation theory is a distinctly multidisciplinary field of
inquiry. It draws its data, assumptions, and methods from
disciplines as disparate as formal logic and discourse analysis,
linguistics and forensic science, philosophy and psychology,
political science and education, sociology and law, and rhetoric
and artificial intelligence. This presents the growing group of
interested scholars and students with a problem of access, since it
is even for those active in the field not common to have acquired a
familiarity with relevant aspects of each discipline that enters
into this multidisciplinary matrix. This book offers its readers a
unique comprehensive survey of the various theoretical
contributions which have been made to the study of argumentation.
It discusses the historical works that provide the background to
the field and all major approaches and trends in contemporary
research.

This book examines argumentative situations as they develop in different cultures and language groups. It considers the development of argumentation studies, making greater allowance for the specificities of argument as developed by "non-mainstream cultures"; the contribution of Jainism to the framework of philosophical disputation in India; duel songs as an institutionalized argumentative genre practiced by Ammassalik culture within the Inuit community; the application of the Muslim theological-legal reasoning system to evaluate two traditional, pre-Muslim traditional practices in Borneo; the annotation of schemes on the basis of Walton's taxonomy of argument schemes and Wagemans' Periodic Table of Arguments; methodology proposed for the reconstruction and analysis of "double-mode" arguments in advertisements, combining the instruments developed in social semiotics, pragmatics, and argumentation theory; and a review of the argumentation-theoretical literature on metaphor in argumentative discourse. This book is of interest to students and researchers in argumentation studies, rhetoric, philosophy, cultural studies and language studies.
