Meeting Description:

Organized by the research group Speech Communication (Institute of German
Linguistics) in cooperation with the German Association for Speech
Communication and Training (DGSS)

Please note that the conference’s main language will be German. We will
arrange slots in English and will provide all necessary information in both
languages.

The conference focusses on the theory and practice of argumentation and looks
for new perspectives in research and application. Argumentation functions to
establish common ground, to achieve an understanding in disputes and to
resolve conflicts in a rational and knowledge-based manner. Individual
argumentation competence allows for dealing with divergent perspectives and
for participation in the socio-political arena as well as in educational
processes. Hence, argumentation is not only the condition for education but at
the same time a central aim. Argumentation takes place in different practical
contexts and domains. These contexts – the natural science class, the
political round-table discussion, the medical conversation – influence the
forms of argumentation as does the medial design; oral argumentation for
example follows different conditions and characteristics than argumentation in
other medialities.

At the conference in Marburg “Klären I Streiten I Argumentieren – Current
Perspectives in Argumentation Studies” we want to discuss these dimensions
from different disciplinary angles. We are happy to announce, that the
following keynote-speakers will join us:

- Prof. Dr. Manfred Kienpointner (University Innsbruck)
- Prof. Dr. Constanze Spieß (University Marburg)
- Prof. Dr. Lisa S. Villadsen (University Copenhagen)
- Prof. Dr. Dietmar Till (University Tübingen)


Call for Papers:

Taking a multidisciplinary perspective on argumentation we are looking forward
to contributions from speech communication, linguistics, rhetoric, political
science, psychology, philosophy, education, phonetics, … We welcome
contributions that originally address one or more of the following questions
and
aspects:

- How is argumentation and especially oral argumentation designed in different
domains? How does domain-specific context form argumentation and vice versa?
Which specific functions are linked to argumentation in different domains?
- How is argumentation related to other complex forms of discourse like
explaining, reasoning, and narrating and how can their relations be described
systematically?
- How is argumentation embedded in larger rhetorical forms and rhetorical
practices (e.g debate, conversation, presentation of knowledge)?
- How do children and adults acquire argumentation competence? How can the
acquisition process be described?
- How do children and adults learn to argue in a disciplinary realm?
- What demands and characteristics with respect to the language of education
apply to oral argumentation in different subjects and disciplines?
- What relation exists between an explicitly formulated didactic of
argumentation and the concrete practices of argumentation? In what way does
argumentation contribute to participation in educational processes?
- How can and should argumentation be evaluated?
- How can argumentation competence be developed and fostered in adults? Which
didactical concepts have proved themselves, how should others be reworked?
- How do argumentation and argumentative practices change due to processes of
medialization and digitalization?
- How do medialization and digitization change classical rhetorical concepts
related to argumentation like the topic, credibility, authenticity, persuasion
and plausibility?

The conference takes one more topic into focus next to argumentation. The
reason to organize the conference in Marburg is a special jubilee: We
celebrate 100 years of speech communication at the University Marburg! To this
topic too, we invite contributions for panels or other formats. These
contributions
could take up historical aspects of speech communication in Marburg as well as
the history of the overall discipline with its cooperation inside and outside
the university.

We welcome empirical and theoretical contributions as well as pedagogical and
applied ones, including reports from different fields of practice. You can
choose between the following formats:

- Individual paper (30 minutes)
- Workshop as an interactive format (90 minutes)
- Data session (90 minutes)
- Poster including short presentation, mainly for work-in-progress
- Panel with 4-5 papers on a shared topic (180 minutes)

Please send in an abstract (max. 400 words, incl. max. 5 references) via
ConfTool, assigning the contribution to one format. Contributions may be in
German or in English. Please note that the conference’s main language will be
German.
