The first five sections are devoted to argumentation in a specific institutional context: scientific controversies, argumentation in politics, argumentation in a legal context, argumentation in education, argumentation in an interpersonal context. The last section deals with strategic maneuvering as a vital concept in studying argumentation in practice.<br />The contributors are: Francesco Arcidiacono, Michael J.

The international scope of the researchers provides a truly diverse set of contexts for locating actual argumentative practices. The chapters cover examiniations of argumentation ractices in the U.S., Canada, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Greece, France, Italy, and Japan. This broad array of cultural context demonstrates the utility of modern theories of argumentation as sensitive and adaptable to a variety of local, regional, and epochal practices.

Results indicate some differences between the way U.S. presidential candidates, British leaders, and Egyptian leaders initiate and manage face threats on leadership and competence. 10 01 JB code aic.9.03dur 49 64 16 Article 6 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The September 11, 1973 military coup in Chile and the military regime 1973&#8211;1990</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">September 11, 1973 military coup in Chile and the military regime 1973&#8211;1990</TitleWithoutPrefix> <Subtitle textformat="02">A case of social and political deep disagreement</Subtitle> 1 A01 Claudio Duran Duran, Claudio Claudio Duran York University 20 blog 20 deep disagreement 20 multi-modal argumentation 20 pragmadialectics 20 strategy for overcoming deep disagreement 01 This paper intends to describe and analyze the argumentation that has taken place in El Mercurio, Chile&#8217;s main daily newspaper, both in articles in the printed edition as well as in blogs in the online edition, during the months of September and October 2013. This argumentation constitutes a case of social and political deep disagreement.

In fact, however, an important argument is subtly and implicitly developed in this brief text: that nationalism is necessary for democracy to flourish. This argument will be identified and its layout described. Moreover, Lincoln employs all three dimensions of strategic maneuvering (topical potential, audience demand, and presentational choices) to enhance this argument. Its placement within an epideictic address is strategically useful and illustrates the ways in which epideictic can have argument content. 10 01 JB code aic.9.s3 Section header 8 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Argumentation in a legal context</TitleText> 10 01 JB code aic.9.05ble 79 98 20 Article 9 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The voices of justice.

This function should be conceived as the judge&#8217;s aim to have his argumentation understood (the communicative effect), as well as to have it accepted (the interactional effect). In this paper I will analyse how the judge may maneuver strategically to achieve these effects on a composite audience. The analysis focuses on the communicative activity type of administrative judicial decisions. 10 01 JB code aic.9.s4 Section header 12 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Argumentation in education</TitleText> 10 01 JB code aic.9.08per 135 150 16 Article 13 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Knowledge-oriented argumentation in children</TitleText> 1 A01 Anne-Nelly Perret-Clermont Perret-Clermont, Anne-Nelly Anne-Nelly Perret-Clermont University of Neuchâtel 2 A01 Francesco Arcidiacono Arcidiacono, Francesco Francesco Arcidiacono University of Neuchâtel 3 A01 Stephanie Breux Breux, Stephanie Stephanie Breux University of Neuchâtel 4 A01 Sara Greco Greco, Sara Sara Greco Università della Svizzera italiana 5 A01 Céline Miserez-Caperos Miserez-Caperos, Céline Céline Miserez-Caperos University of Neuchâtel 20 children’s argumentation 20 communication 20 knowledge-oriented argumentation 20 reasoning 20 social interaction 01 This paper analyzes children&#8217;s argumentative discussions centered on the resolution of cognitive tasks, starting from the hypothesis that children&#8217;s interventions are more complex and complete than usually described in psychological research on argumentation skills. Our results can be viewed as a possibility to reconsider the usual school situations in which children&#8217;s argumentative skills are assessed in order to better understand the social, relational and emotional conditions that support argumentation in children. 10 01 JB code aic.9.09par 151 174 24 Article 14 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Argumentative strategies in adolescents&#8217; school writing</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">One aspect of the evaluation of students&#8217; written argumentative competence</Subtitle> 1 A01 Paraskevi Sachinidou Sachinidou, Paraskevi Paraskevi Sachinidou Democritus university of Thrace 20 adolescents’ argumentation 20 argumentative competence 20 argumentative strategy 20 language evaluation 01 Argumentation strategies constitute a crucial aspect of argumentation. The purpose of this paper is to explore the relations of the argumentative strategies observed in the writing of adolescents&#8217; texts within language evaluation tests, to the elaboration of their theses and the evaluation of their argumentative competence. Despite the diversity of argumentative strategies employed, their standpoints are not fully elaborated and so their argumentative competence is diminished. These findings are important for the designing of argumentative teaching. 10 01 JB code aic.9.10bak 175 200 26 Article 15 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The integration of pragma-dialectics and collaborative learning research</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">integration of pragma-dialectics and collaborative learning research</TitleWithoutPrefix> <Subtitle textformat="02">Dialogue, externalisation and collective thinking</Subtitle> 1 A01 Michael J.

It is argued that although pragma-dialectics is the most appropriate theory in this context, it needs to be &#8216;psychologised&#8217; by the consideration of additional discursive, dialogical, epistemological, interpersonal and affective dimensions of dialogue. In conclusion, prospects for new <i>rapprochement</i> between argumentation theory and psychology are discussed. 10 01 JB code aic.9.11ell 201 214 14 Article 16 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">A critique of the ubiquity of the Toulmin model in argumentative writing instruction in the U.S.A.</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>A </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">critique of the ubiquity of the Toulmin model in argumentative writing instruction in the U.S.A.</TitleWithoutPrefix> 1 A01 Lindsay M.

This session encouraged writing consultants to ask critical questions not only associated with Toulmin&#39;s model but also those of the pragma-dialectic model of critical discussion in order to improve the critical thinking of writers. 10 01 JB code aic.9.s5 Section header 17 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Argumentation in an interpersonal context</TitleText> 10 01 JB code aic.9.12dou 217 232 16 Article 18 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The psychiatrization of the opponent in polemical context</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">psychiatrization of the opponent in polemical context</TitleWithoutPrefix> 1 A01 Marianne Doury Doury, Marianne Marianne Doury Laboratoire Communication et Politique 2 A01 Pascale Mansier Mansier, Pascale Pascale Mansier Laboratoire Communication et Politique 20 ad hominem argument 20 disqualifying strategy 20 mental pathology 01 A variant of the <i>ad hominem</i> argument amounts to challenging the opponent&#8217;s mental health. Semi-technical designations borrowed from psychiatric paradigms (such as <i>autistic, paranoiac, hysterical</i>) are thus appealed to in order to qualify the opponent. Based on three examples from polemical discussions on political issues, we investigate what kind of behaviour triggers such accusations, how they are justified, and how they are handled by the speaker to whom they are addressed. 10 01 JB code aic.9.13kli 233 250 18 Article 19 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The effect of interpersonal familiarity on argument in online discussions</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">effect of interpersonal familiarity on argument in online discussions</TitleWithoutPrefix> 1 A01 Susan L.

Undergraduate students discussed a US state ban on gay marriage using an online chat tool. Familiarity was manipulated with a &#8220;get-to-know-you&#8221; session, and conversational argument and interpersonal act coding systems were applied to the transcripts. Compared to the control condition, familiarity produced more interpersonal, disagreement, and process acts in the discussions. 10 01 JB code aic.9.14jan 251 264 14 Article 20 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">&#8220;I did not do it, because I would not do it&#8221;</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Defending oneself against an accusation</Subtitle> 1 A01 Henrike Jansen Jansen, Henrike Henrike Jansen Leiden University Centre for Linguistics 20 accusation 20 character 20 convincingness 20 counterfactual 20 critical question 20 denial 20 hypothetical 20 plausibility 20 risk-weighing 20 soundness 01 When hard proof is absent, someone who faces an accusation can seek assistance in arguments making it plausible that (s)he &#8216;did not do it&#8217;.

The results of the study show that the therapeutic goals of chronic care are strongly linked to dialogical activities such as argumentation, explanation, decision making and information giving. The article discusses how doctors&#8217; argumentation skills can be improved, especially in the crucial phase of shared decision making. 10 01 JB code aic.9.s6 Section header 23 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Strategic maneuvering</TitleText> 10 01 JB code aic.9.17gat 297 312 16 Article 24 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The strategic function of argumentative moves in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) reports</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">strategic function of argumentative moves in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) reports</TitleWithoutPrefix> 1 A01 Anca Gâţă Gâţă, Anca Anca Gâţă “Dunarea de Jos” University of Galati 20 adjudication 20 appeal to emotions 20 argumentative move 20 audience demand 20 critical discussion 20 CSR report 20 organizational rhetoric 20 pragma-dialectics 20 strategic maneuvering 01 A CSR report may be viewed as part of a virtual critical discussion in which the company acts as a protagonist claiming that their behaviour is responsible towards society.

The transcripts from these debates were coded using a schema based on face threats used in debates. Results indicate some differences between the way U.S. presidential candidates, British leaders, and Egyptian leaders initiate and manage face threats on leadership and competence. 10 01 JB code aic.9.03dur 49 64 16 Article 6 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The September 11, 1973 military coup in Chile and the military regime 1973&#8211;1990</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">September 11, 1973 military coup in Chile and the military regime 1973&#8211;1990</TitleWithoutPrefix> <Subtitle textformat="02">A case of social and political deep disagreement</Subtitle> 1 A01 Claudio Duran Duran, Claudio Claudio Duran York University 20 blog 20 deep disagreement 20 multi-modal argumentation 20 pragmadialectics 20 strategy for overcoming deep disagreement 01 This paper intends to describe and analyze the argumentation that has taken place in El Mercurio, Chile&#8217;s main daily newspaper, both in articles in the printed edition as well as in blogs in the online edition, during the months of September and October 2013. This argumentation constitutes a case of social and political deep disagreement. The nature of the disagreement lies in the ways of explaining the coup and the military regime. 10 01 JB code aic.9.04zar 65 76 12 Article 7 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Argumentation in Lincoln&#8217;s Gettysburg Address</TitleText> 1 A01 David Zarefsky Zarefsky, David David Zarefsky Northwestern University (Emeritus) 20 argument structure 20 burden of proof 20 coordinative argument 20 deliberative 20 epideictic 20 eulogy 20 Gettysburg Address 20 Lincoln 20 strategic maneuvering 01 Abraham Lincoln&#8217;s Gettysburg Address normally is understood as epideictic, intended only to dedicate a national cemetery. In fact, however, an important argument is subtly and implicitly developed in this brief text: that nationalism is necessary for democracy to flourish. This argument will be identified and its layout described. Moreover, Lincoln employs all three dimensions of strategic maneuvering (topical potential, audience demand, and presentational choices) to enhance this argument. Its placement within an epideictic address is strategically useful and illustrates the ways in which epideictic can have argument content. 10 01 JB code aic.9.s3 Section header 8 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Argumentation in a legal context</TitleText> 10 01 JB code aic.9.05ble 79 98 20 Article 9 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The voices of justice.

From a pragma-dialectical perspective I describe the stereotypical patterns of legal justification in hard cases and specify the different ways in which these stereotypical patterns can be implemented in different contexts in which judges give a decision that they justify by referring to consequences, goals and values. 10 01 JB code aic.9.07plu 121 132 12 Article 11 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Transparency in legal argumentation</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Adapting to a composite audience in administrative judicial decisions</Subtitle> 1 A01 H. José Plug Plug, H. José H. José Plug University of Amsterdam 20 administrative law 20 audience demand 20 composite audience 20 judicial decision 20 legal argumentation 20 legal opinion 20 role-shifting 01 An important topic in the debate about transparency of the administration of justice includes the communicative function of judicial decisions. This function should be conceived as the judge&#8217;s aim to have his argumentation understood (the communicative effect), as well as to have it accepted (the interactional effect). In this paper I will analyse how the judge may maneuver strategically to achieve these effects on a composite audience. The analysis focuses on the communicative activity type of administrative judicial decisions. 10 01 JB code aic.9.s4 Section header 12 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Argumentation in education</TitleText> 10 01 JB code aic.9.08per 135 150 16 Article 13 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Knowledge-oriented argumentation in children</TitleText> 1 A01 Anne-Nelly Perret-Clermont Perret-Clermont, Anne-Nelly Anne-Nelly Perret-Clermont University of Neuchâtel 2 A01 Francesco Arcidiacono Arcidiacono, Francesco Francesco Arcidiacono University of Neuchâtel 3 A01 Stephanie Breux Breux, Stephanie Stephanie Breux University of Neuchâtel 4 A01 Sara Greco Greco, Sara Sara Greco Università della Svizzera italiana 5 A01 Céline Miserez-Caperos Miserez-Caperos, Céline Céline Miserez-Caperos University of Neuchâtel 20 children’s argumentation 20 communication 20 knowledge-oriented argumentation 20 reasoning 20 social interaction 01 This paper analyzes children&#8217;s argumentative discussions centered on the resolution of cognitive tasks, starting from the hypothesis that children&#8217;s interventions are more complex and complete than usually described in psychological research on argumentation skills. Our results can be viewed as a possibility to reconsider the usual school situations in which children&#8217;s argumentative skills are assessed in order to better understand the social, relational and emotional conditions that support argumentation in children. 10 01 JB code aic.9.09par 151 174 24 Article 14 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Argumentative strategies in adolescents&#8217; school writing</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">One aspect of the evaluation of students&#8217; written argumentative competence</Subtitle> 1 A01 Paraskevi Sachinidou Sachinidou, Paraskevi Paraskevi Sachinidou Democritus university of Thrace 20 adolescents’ argumentation 20 argumentative competence 20 argumentative strategy 20 language evaluation 01 Argumentation strategies constitute a crucial aspect of argumentation. The purpose of this paper is to explore the relations of the argumentative strategies observed in the writing of adolescents&#8217; texts within language evaluation tests, to the elaboration of their theses and the evaluation of their argumentative competence. Despite the diversity of argumentative strategies employed, their standpoints are not fully elaborated and so their argumentative competence is diminished. These findings are important for the designing of argumentative teaching. 10 01 JB code aic.9.10bak 175 200 26 Article 15 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The integration of pragma-dialectics and collaborative learning research</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">integration of pragma-dialectics and collaborative learning research</TitleWithoutPrefix> <Subtitle textformat="02">Dialogue, externalisation and collective thinking</Subtitle> 1 A01 Michael J.

It is argued that although pragma-dialectics is the most appropriate theory in this context, it needs to be &#8216;psychologised&#8217; by the consideration of additional discursive, dialogical, epistemological, interpersonal and affective dimensions of dialogue. In conclusion, prospects for new <i>rapprochement</i> between argumentation theory and psychology are discussed. 10 01 JB code aic.9.11ell 201 214 14 Article 16 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">A critique of the ubiquity of the Toulmin model in argumentative writing instruction in the U.S.A.</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>A </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">critique of the ubiquity of the Toulmin model in argumentative writing instruction in the U.S.A.</TitleWithoutPrefix> 1 A01 Lindsay M.

To date, pragma-dialectics (van Eemeren and Grootendorst 2004; van Eemeren 2010) is not a visible presence in American composition textbooks. This session encouraged writing consultants to ask critical questions not only associated with Toulmin&#39;s model but also those of the pragma-dialectic model of critical discussion in order to improve the critical thinking of writers. 10 01 JB code aic.9.s5 Section header 17 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Argumentation in an interpersonal context</TitleText> 10 01 JB code aic.9.12dou 217 232 16 Article 18 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The psychiatrization of the opponent in polemical context</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">psychiatrization of the opponent in polemical context</TitleWithoutPrefix> 1 A01 Marianne Doury Doury, Marianne Marianne Doury Laboratoire Communication et Politique 2 A01 Pascale Mansier Mansier, Pascale Pascale Mansier Laboratoire Communication et Politique 20 ad hominem argument 20 disqualifying strategy 20 mental pathology 01 A variant of the <i>ad hominem</i> argument amounts to challenging the opponent&#8217;s mental health. Semi-technical designations borrowed from psychiatric paradigms (such as <i>autistic, paranoiac, hysterical</i>) are thus appealed to in order to qualify the opponent. Based on three examples from polemical discussions on political issues, we investigate what kind of behaviour triggers such accusations, how they are justified, and how they are handled by the speaker to whom they are addressed. 10 01 JB code aic.9.13kli 233 250 18 Article 19 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The effect of interpersonal familiarity on argument in online discussions</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">effect of interpersonal familiarity on argument in online discussions</TitleWithoutPrefix> 1 A01 Susan L.

Undergraduate students discussed a US state ban on gay marriage using an online chat tool. Familiarity was manipulated with a &#8220;get-to-know-you&#8221; session, and conversational argument and interpersonal act coding systems were applied to the transcripts. Compared to the control condition, familiarity produced more interpersonal, disagreement, and process acts in the discussions. 10 01 JB code aic.9.14jan 251 264 14 Article 20 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">&#8220;I did not do it, because I would not do it&#8221;</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Defending oneself against an accusation</Subtitle> 1 A01 Henrike Jansen Jansen, Henrike Henrike Jansen Leiden University Centre for Linguistics 20 accusation 20 character 20 convincingness 20 counterfactual 20 critical question 20 denial 20 hypothetical 20 plausibility 20 risk-weighing 20 soundness 01 When hard proof is absent, someone who faces an accusation can seek assistance in arguments making it plausible that (s)he &#8216;did not do it&#8217;.

The results of the study show that the therapeutic goals of chronic care are strongly linked to dialogical activities such as argumentation, explanation, decision making and information giving. The article discusses how doctors&#8217; argumentation skills can be improved, especially in the crucial phase of shared decision making. 10 01 JB code aic.9.s6 Section header 23 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Strategic maneuvering</TitleText> 10 01 JB code aic.9.17gat 297 312 16 Article 24 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The strategic function of argumentative moves in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) reports</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">strategic function of argumentative moves in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) reports</TitleWithoutPrefix> 1 A01 Anca Gâţă Gâţă, Anca Anca Gâţă “Dunarea de Jos” University of Galati 20 adjudication 20 appeal to emotions 20 argumentative move 20 audience demand 20 critical discussion 20 CSR report 20 organizational rhetoric 20 pragma-dialectics 20 strategic maneuvering 01 A CSR report may be viewed as part of a virtual critical discussion in which the company acts as a protagonist claiming that their behaviour is responsible towards society.
