Inquiries in Philosophical Pragmatics - Issues in Linguistics (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2021): Fabrizio Macagno, Alessandro Capone Inquiries in Philosophical Pragmatics - Issues in Linguistics (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2021)
Fabrizio Macagno, Alessandro Capone
R2,648 Discovery Miles 26 480 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Together with the first volume "Inquiries in philosophical pragmatics: Theoretical developments," this book collects contributions that represent the state of the art on the interconnection between pragmatics and philosophy. While the first volume presents the philosophical dimension of pragmatics, showing the path from theoretical advances to practical uses and approaches, this second volume offers a specular view on this discipline. Instead of adopting the top-down view of the first volume, this collection of eleven chapters starts from the analysis of linguistic data - which include texts and discourses in different languages, different types of dialogues, different types of interactions, and different modes for expressing meaning - looking for the regularities that govern our production and processing. The chapters are ordered according to their relationship with the themes and methods that define the field of pragmatics. The more explored and classical linguistic issues such as prototype-based generalizations, scalar implicatures, and temporal ordering, lead gradually to the more recent and debated topic of slurs and pejorative language, and finally to the interdisciplinary and more pioneering works addressing specific context of language use, such as marketplace interactions, courtroom speeches, schizophrenic discourse, literary texts for children, and multimedia communication.

Statutory Interpretation - Pragmatics and Argumentation (Hardcover): Douglas Walton, Fabrizio Macagno, Giovanni Sartor Statutory Interpretation - Pragmatics and Argumentation (Hardcover)
Douglas Walton, Fabrizio Macagno, Giovanni Sartor
R3,118 Discovery Miles 31 180 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Statutory interpretation involves the reconstruction of the meaning of a legal statement when it cannot be considered as accepted or granted. This phenomenon needs to be considered not only from the legal and linguistic perspective, but also from the argumentative one - which focuses on the strategies for defending a controversial or doubtful viewpoint. This book draws upon linguistics, legal theory, computing, and dialectics to present an argumentation-based approach to statutory interpretation. By translating and summarizing the existing legal interpretative canons into eleven patterns of natural arguments - called argumentation schemes - the authors offer a system of argumentation strategies for developing, defending, assessing, and attacking an interpretation. Illustrated through major cases from both common and civil law, this methodology is summarized in diagrams and maps for application to computer sciences. These visuals help make the structures, strategies, and vulnerabilities of legal reasoning accessible to both legal professionals and laypeople.

Inquiries in Philosophical Pragmatics - Theoretical Developments (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2021): Fabrizio Macagno, Alessandro Capone Inquiries in Philosophical Pragmatics - Theoretical Developments (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2021)
Fabrizio Macagno, Alessandro Capone
R2,882 Discovery Miles 28 820 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Together with the volume "Inquiries in philosophical pragmatics: Linguistic and theoretical issues," this book provides a journey through the more recent developments of pragmatics, considering both its philosophical and linguistic nature. This first volume is devoted to the theoretical models developed from a philosophical perspective, including both the newest advances of the classical theories and approaches, and pioneering and interdisciplinary ideas proposed to face the challenges of the fields and areas of practice and analysis. The topics investigated, which include implicatures, reference, presupposition, speech acts, metaphor, relevance, and common ground, represent the core of the state of the art in philosophical pragmatics. Research on these matters have been continuously changing the way that we can look at them. This book serves as a collection of works from the most eminent authors who represent the theoretical developments of the approaches that defined this field, together with the new philosophical insights coming from more applied disciplines such as argumentation, discourse analysis, or linguistics. The combination of these two perspectives provides a unique outline of the current research in pragmatics.

Interpreting Straw Man Argumentation - The Pragmatics of Quotation and Reporting (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2017): Fabrizio Macagno,... Interpreting Straw Man Argumentation - The Pragmatics of Quotation and Reporting (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2017)
Fabrizio Macagno, Douglas Walton
R4,184 Discovery Miles 41 840 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book shows how research in linguistic pragmatics, philosophy of language, and rhetoric can be connected through argumentation to analyze a recognizably common strategy used in political and everyday conversation, namely the distortion of another's words in an argumentative exchange. Straw man argumentation refers to the modification of a position by misquoting, misreporting or wrenching the original speaker's statements from their context in order to attack them more easily or more effectively. Through 63 examples taken from different contexts (including political and forensic discourses and dialogs) and 20 legal cases, the book analyzes the explicit and implicit types of straw man, shows how to assess the correctness of a quote or a report, and illustrates the arguments that can be used for supporting an interpretation and defending against a distortion. The tools of argumentation theory, a discipline aimed at investigating the uses of arguments by combining insights from pragmatics, logic, and communication, are applied to provide an original account of interpretation and reporting, and to describe and illustrate tactics and procedures that can be used and implemented for practical purposes.. This book will appeal to scholars in the fields of political communication, communication in general, argumentation theory, rhetoric and pragmatics, as well as to people working in public speech, speech writing, and discourse analysis.

Emotive Language in Argumentation (Hardcover, New): Fabrizio Macagno, Douglas Walton Emotive Language in Argumentation (Hardcover, New)
Fabrizio Macagno, Douglas Walton
R2,363 Discovery Miles 23 630 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book analyzes the uses of emotive language and redefinitions from pragmatic, dialectical, epistemic and rhetorical perspectives, investigating the relationship between emotions, persuasion and meaning, and focusing on the implicit dimension of the use of a word and its dialectical effects. It offers a method for evaluating the persuasive and manipulative uses of emotive language in ordinary and political discourse. Through the analysis of political speeches (including President Obama's Nobel Peace Prize address) and legal arguments, the book offers a systematic study of emotive language in argumentation, rhetoric, communication, political science and public speaking.

Argumentation Schemes (Hardcover, New): Douglas Walton, Christopher Reed, Fabrizio Macagno Argumentation Schemes (Hardcover, New)
Douglas Walton, Christopher Reed, Fabrizio Macagno
R2,666 Discovery Miles 26 660 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book provides a systematic analysis of many common argumentation schemes and a compendium of 96 schemes. The study of these schemes, or forms of argument that capture stereotypical patterns of human reasoning, is at the core of argumentation research. Surveying all aspects of argumentation schemes from the ground up, the book takes the reader from the elementary exposition in the first chapter to the latest state of the art in the research efforts to formalize and classify the schemes, outlined in the last chapter. It provides a systematic and comprehensive account, with notation suitable for computational applications that increasingly make use of argumentation schemes.
