About this book
Argumentative Style discusses the various ways in which the defence of a standpoint is given shape in argumentative discourse. In this innovative study the new notion – ‘argumentative style’ – introduced for this purpose is situated in the theoretical framework of the pragma-dialectical approach to argumentation. This means that the choices involved in utilising a particular argumentative style do not only concern the presentational dimension, but also the topical selection and the audience adaptation of the strategic manoeuvring taking place in the discourse. In identifying the functional variety of the argumentative styles utilised in the political, the diplomatic, the legal, the facilitatory, the academic, and the medical domain, the point of departure is that these argumentative styles manifest themselves in the discourse in the argumentative moves that are made, the dialectical routes that are chosen and the strategic considerations that are brought to bear.
Reviews
Manfred Kienpointner, University of Innsbruck, in Journal of Argumentation in Context 12:2 (2023).:
My critical remarks do not diminish a very positive overall assessment: As van Eemeren et al. (2022) have shown, the notion of "argumentative style" can be fruitfully and successfully integrated into the research program of Pragma-Dialectics and further enhance its status as the most comprehensive theory of argumentation of our time.
