Download or read book L argumentation dans la communication written by Philippe Breton and published by . This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La société démocratique recourt systématiquement au débat, à la discussion, à l'argumentation. Les techniques qui permettent de convaincre l'autre sans violence sont pourtant peu connues ou enseignées. L'auteur pose à ce sujet plusieurs questions fondamentales. Quels arguments utilisons-nous couramment ? En quoi argumenter se distingue-t-il de séduire, de plaire ou de manipuler autrui ? Ce travail est illustré par de nombreux exemples, pris dans des situations quotidiennes, dans la discussion politique ou le débat de société. L'ouvrage propose également des critères simples pour distinguer entre la manipulation des consciences et l'argumentation, qui laisse l'auditoire libre. Cette démarche inscrit résolument l'argumentation, issue de la rhétorique classique et de la tradition démocratique, dans le champ de la communication moderne.
Download or read book Argumentation Communication and Fallacies written by Frans H. van Eemeren and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-22 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume gives a theoretical account of the problem of analyzing and evaluating argumentative discourse. After placing argumentation in a communicative perspective, and then discussing the fallacies that occur when certain rules of communication are violated, the authors offer an alternative to both the linguistically-inspired descriptive and logically-inspired normative approaches to argumentation. The authors characterize argumentation as a complex speech act in a critical discussion aimed at resolving a difference of opinion. The various stages of a critical discussion are outlined, and the communicative and interactional aspects of the speech acts performed in resolving a simple or complex dispute are discussed. After dealing with crucial aspects of analysis and linking the evaluation of argumentative discourse to the analysis, the authors identify the fallacies that can occur at various stages of discussion. Their general aim is to elucidate their own pragma- dialectical perspective on the analysis and evaluation of argumentative discourse, bringing together pragmatic insight concerning speech acts and dialectical insight concerning critical discussion.

Download or read book The Practice of Argumentation written by David Zarefsky and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-19 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses different perspectives on argumentation to show how we create arguments, test them, attack and defend them, and deploy them effectively to justify beliefs and influence others. David Zarefsky uses a range of contemporary examples to show how arguments work and how they can be put together, beginning with simple individual arguments, and proceeding to the construction and analysis of complex cases incorporating different structures. Special attention is given to evaluating evidence and reasoning, the building blocks of argumentation. Zarefsky provides clear guidelines and tests for different kinds of arguments, as well as exercises that show student readers how to apply theories to arguments in everyday and public life. His comprehensive and integrated approach toward argumentation theory and practice will help readers to become more adept at critically examining everyday arguments as well as constructing arguments that will convince others.

Download or read book A Theory of Argumentation written by Charles Arthur Willard and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2003-07-03 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Establishes a theoretical context for, and to elaborate the implications of, the claim that argument is a form of interaction in which two or more people maintain what they construe to be incompatible positions The thesis of this book is that argument is not a kind of logic but a kind of communication—conversation based on disagreement. Claims about the epistemic and political effects of argument get their authority not from logic but from their “fit with the facts” about how communication works. A Theory of Communication thus offers a picture of communication—distilled from elements of symbolic interactionism, personal construct theory, constructivism, and Barbara O’Keefe’s provocative thinking about logics of message design. The picture of argument that emerges from this tapestry is startling, for it forces revisions in thinking about knowledge, rationality, freedom, fallacies, and the structure and content of the argumentation discipline.
