Linguistic identification of arguments
The analysis of argumentative discourse: some proposals
I'll begin by situating the approach to argumentation that I'm helping to develop in relation to other perspectives from which it differs - and not to which it is opposed: the theories of the "all-argumentative" on the one hand, and normative approaches on the other. I will then examine what is involved in the project of analyzing argued discourses: analyzing discourses, giving an account of their argumentative character. In particular, I will develop the category of argument types, its interest, its limits and its linguistic manifestations.
