Abstract:

Since the late 1950s the study of argumentation has developed from a
marginal part of logic and rhetoric into a genuine interdisciplinary
academic discipline. After having first been primarily concerned with
creating an adequate philosophical perspective on argumentation,
argumentation theorists have gradually shifted their focus of attention to
a more immediate concern with the ins and outs of argumentative praxis.
What exactly are the characteristics of situated argumentative discourse in
different argumentative 'action types'? How is the discourse influenced by
institutional and contextual constraints? In what way can prominent cases
of argumentative discourse be fruitfully analysed? Argumentation in
Practice aims to provide insight into some important facets of
argumentative praxis and the different ways in which it can be approached.
The first part of this volume, 'Conceptions of problems in argumentative
practice', introduces useful theoretical perspectives. The second part,
'Empirical studies of argumentative practice', contains both empirical
studies of a general kind and several types of specific case studies.
