Abstract:

In Enthymemes and Topoi in Dialogue, Ellen Breitholtz presents a novel and
precise account of reasoning from an interactional perspective. The account
draws on the concepts of enthymemes and topoi, originating in Aristotelian
rhetoric and dialectic, and integrates these in a formal dialogue semantic
account using TTR, a type theory with records.
 
Argumentation analysis and formal approaches to reasoning often focus the
logical validity of arguments on inferences made in discourse from a god’s-eye
perspective. In contrast, Breitholtz’s account emphasises the individual
perspectives of interlocutors and the function and acceptability of their
reasoning in context. This provides an analysis of interactions where
interlocutors have access to different topoi and therefore make different
inferences.
