In this volume, emphasis is placed on contributions to the study of argumentation by scholars from communication, speech communication, rhetoric, and discourse analysis. So far, their work has been insufficiently represented in anthologies, overviews and readers. William Benoit, Dale Hample, and Pamela Benoit have made efforts to correct the imbalance by filling in the gap. In our opinion, they have succeeded in compounding an excellent selection of classical highlights from modern literature in the field. For scholars, the books provides a rich source of information and references. -- Pref. (p. [xi]-xii).

This Workbook is a collection of exercises and case studies designed to serve as a companion to Reading Argumentative Texts: Analytic Tools to Improve Understanding. The exercises and case studies track each of the chapters of Reading and provide opportunities for students to hone their skills at using the analytic tools presented in Reading, and to acquire additional analytic tools and concepts. These tools are illustrated through the analysis of complete essays from the mass media, speeches, a sermon, and passages from academic works. The approach is flexible and practical and avoids academic jargon and specific theories of argumentation. As is the case with Reading, this Workbook is grounded in two principles. First, that the meaning of an argumentative text is to be found in the statements that constitute the argument itself, in other statements that are more or less directly related to the argument, and in the structure and context of the text. Accordingly, while this book discusses the analysis of arguments, argument-types, and errors in argumentation (fallacies), it focuses equally on the other sources of meaning of a text. Second, there is no single, authoritative reading of an argumentative text. The interplay of these two premises informs the view that analyzing and understanding an argumentative text is an art and that, within certain well-defined parameters, there are “better” and “worse” readings of a text and not “right” or “wrong” readings. The principal sources of meaning discussed include: (1) the structure of the text (and so the book examines six types of introductions and teaches how to outline and summarize), (2) key sentences, phrases, and words in a text (so the book discusses ambiguity, the difference between factual and normative statements, irony, and rhetoric), (3) context (intellectual, social, political, cultural, and physical context), and (4) the logical connections between terms in an argument (including the four different types of arguments, fallacies, and the distinction between necessary and sufficient conditions). The book is designed to be used in late high school or early college critical reading, critical thinking, rhetoric, or writing courses.

This book addresses two related questions that have first arisen in Toulmin’s seminal book on the uses of argument. The first question is the one of the relationship between the semantic analysis of modality and the structure of arguments. The second question is the one of the distinctive place, or role, of modality in the fundamental structure of arguments. These two questions concern how modality, as a semantic category, relates to the fundamental structure of arguments. The book addresses modality and argumentation also according to another perspective by looking at how different linguistic modal expressions may be taken as argumentative indicators. It explores the role of modal expressions as argumentative indicators by using the Italian modal system as a case study. At the same time, it uses predictions/forecasts in the business-financial daily press to investigate the relation between modality and the context of argumentation.

Arguing is a fundamental human activity; it is a process of making sense of the world and negotiating understandings with others. Arguing can be—and often is—healthy for both relationships and societies. The values of the community are shaped through people sharing their opinions, offering reasons in support of their beliefs, and deliberating. Hollihan and Baaske present techniques for effective analysis, logical reasoning, and socially constructive argumentation. They illustrate their discussions of theory and practice with multiple engaging examples. The book focuses on narrative—argument as a story backed by evidence to evaluate courses of action or to resolve conflicts. A chapter on visual argumentation highlights the power of visual elements in arguments. Effective arguing requires a sensitivity to the demands of different argumentative contexts. Readers will become familiar with the elements of argument essential for politics, the law, debate, business, and relationships. Narrative arguments are rational arguments. Learning about the narrative reasoning process helps us tell more convincing, credible, and compassionate stories—and to become better critics of the stories we hear.

A user’s guide to the fundamental practice of literary studies, providing context, examples, and practical exercises Close reading—making an argument based in close attention to a text—is the foundation of literary studies. This book offers a guide to close reading, treating it as a skill that can be taught and practiced. It first explains what close reading is, what it does, and how it has been used across theoretical schools ranging from affect studies to Black studies to queer theory to Marxism. It then presents a series of master classes in the practice, with original contributions by scholars from a range of different institutions. Finally, it provides practical materials, worksheets, and suggested activities for instructors to use in the classroom. The tone throughout is encouraging and accessible, inviting readers of all backgrounds to hone their craft. The book divides the practice of close reading into five steps, coining a term for each step: scene setting, noticing, local claiming, regional argumentation, and global theorizing. It traces the roots of close reading, showing how it has spread far beyond its origins in practical criticism and New Criticism. In twenty-one short chapters, contemporary scholars discuss close readings by such prominent literary critics as Erich Auerbach and Helen Vendler, describing how their arguments work and how to achieve similar results. An essential resource for instructors and students at the undergraduate level and beyond, this book shows how understanding close reading can make us better readers, thinkers, and writers.

Argumentation between Doctors and Patients discusses the use of argumentation in clinical settings. Starting from the pragma-dialectical theory of argumentation, it aims at providing an understanding of argumentative discourse in the context of doctor-patient interaction. It explains when and how interactions between doctors and patients can be reconstructed as argumentative, what it means for doctors and patients to reasonably resolve a difference of opinion, what it implies to strive simultaneously for reasonableness and effectiveness in clinical discourse, and when such efforts derail into fallaciousness. Argumentation between Doctors and Patients is of interest to all those who seek to improve their understanding of argumentation in a medical context – whether they are students, scholars of argumentation, or medical practitioners. Frans H. van Eemeren, Bart Garssen and Nanon Labrie are prominent argumentation theorists. In writing Argumentation between Doctors and Patients, they have benefited from the advice of an Advisory Board consisting of both medical practitioners and argumentation scholars.

Introducing a new framework for teaching and learning literature in secondary schools, this book presents Dialogic Literary Argumentation as an inquiry-based approach to engage students in communicating and exploring ideas about literature. As a process of discovery, Dialogic Literary Argumentation facilitates conversation—"arguing-to-learn"—as a method to support students’ diverse perspectives and engagement with one another in order to develop individual and collective understandings of literature and their place in the world. Covering both the theoretical foundation and application of this method, this book demonstrates how to apply Dialogic Literary Argumentation to teach literature in a way that foregrounds dialogue, learning through inquiry, diverse views, listening to others, and engagement with our communities. Ideal for preservice teachers in literacy methods courses and practicing teachers, it features real-world cases, discussions of the principles presented, resource lists, and conversation starters for professional learning communities, professional development, and teacher education.
