Abstract:
*Presents an analysis of words and expressions that can be indicative of argumentative moves *Systematically based on a well-developed theory of argumentation *Covers all stages of a critical discussion *Makes use of the newly developed technical tool of dialectical profiles *Immediately connects with the practice of argumentative discourse by starting from everyday examples
This volume identifies and analyses English words and expressions that are crucial for an adequate reconstruction of argumentative discourse. It provides a systematic set of instruments for giving a well founded analysis that results in an analytic overview of the elements that are relevant for the evaluation of the argumentation. By starting from everyday examples, the study immediately connects with the practice of argumentative discourse.
