Pragma-Dialectic Approach To Argument
[ send me this essay ]
11 pages in length. The art of argument ranges from formal debates through careful scholarly discussion to heated encounters, fierce arguments and quarrels. What likelihood is there that the enormous range of argumentation can be served, identified, or modeled by one theory. Do the extremes -- or even the edges – of the center have enough in common to be considered together? Not likely, inasmuch as the form of argument can differ just as significantly as the people involved. Discord among human beings is a normal, daily event at all stages of life; however, it is the manner in which such antagonism is addressed that determines how effective the outcome will ultimately be. The writer discusses argumentation as it relates to van Eemeren and Grootendorst's pragma-dialectic theory. Bibliography lists 1 source.
