Giving Reasons: Argumentation and Its Study [This chapter has two sections: the first one is devoted to a characterization of argumentation as an everyday activity, inextricably linked to the specifics of linguistic communication. In addition, it is meant to show in which ways the activity of arguing is particularly akin to humans as rational and social beings: on the one hand, it is a tool to make our beliefs and claims rational, that is, a justificatory device; on the other, it is a means of interaction among individuals, that is, a persuasive device. The relationship between argumentation’s justificatory and persuasive powers will be central throughout this work.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[This chapter has two sections: the first one is devoted to a characterization of argumentation as an everyday activity, inextricably linked to the specifics of linguistic communication. In addition, it is meant to show in which ways the activity of arguing is particularly akin to humans as rational and social beings: on the one hand, it is a tool to make our beliefs and claims rational, that is, a justificatory device; on the other, it is a means of interaction among individuals, that is, a persuasive device. The relationship between argumentation’s justificatory and persuasive powers will be central throughout this work.]
