Since the early eighties the world of the science have heard about the work of two Dutch scholars Frans H. van Eemeren and Rob Grootendorst from the University of Amsterdam. In their study, they focused on the argumentation theory, they are considered the authors of pragma-dialectics otherwise known as pragma-dialectical theory of argumentation. That theory of argumentation refers to any arguments in the context of an explicit or implicit discussions between the parties that are trying to solve the disagreement caused by the difference of opinion testing the acceptability of the standpoints of interested. (Van Eemeren & Grootendorst, 2004:21) The concept of pragma-dialectics consistconsists of two sub-concepts. The first one is the term "pragmatics" created by Charles Morris (1938:63–75) He divided semiotics into three sections - …show more content…
Although knowing the definition of argumentative discourse both words seem to make sense they have a lot of meanings and at the beginning it is worth to know a specified meaning that relates to the context of discourse that is being described. It is not about an angry quarrel filled with emotions but rather "a discussion in which people express different opinions about something". (Merriam-Webster.com) The argumentation has a very close meaning that says that it is " the act or process of giving reasons for or against something : the act or process of making and presenting arguments".(Merriam-Webster.com) So generally speaking the argumentative discourse is based on more or less formal exchange of opinions between two or more parties. In the analysis and evaluation of argumentative discourse the model of critical discussion is used as a tool. " In this approach, pragmatic and dialectical insights are combined by conceiving a critical discussion as a methodological exchange of speech acts between two parties." (Van Eemeren & Grootendorst,

Americans have embraced debate since before we were a country. The idea that we would provide reasoned support for any position that we took is what made us different from the English king. Our love of debate came from the old country, and embedded itself in our culture as a defining value. Thus, it should not come as a surprise that the affinity for debate is still strong, and finds itself as a regular feature of the mainstream media. However, if Deborah Tannen of the New York Times is correct, our understanding of what it means to argue may be very different from what it once was; a “culture of critique” has developed within our media, and it relies on the exclusive opposition of two conflicting positions (Tannen). In her 1994 editorial, titled “The Triumph of the Yell”, Tannen claims that journalists, politicians and academics treat public discourse as an argument. Furthermore, she attempts to persuade her readers that this posturing of argument as a conflict leads to a battle, not a debate, and that we would be able to communicate the truth if this culture were not interfering. This paper will discuss the rhetorical strategies that Tannen utilizes, outline the support given in her editorial, and why her argument is less convincing than it should be.
Relational Dialectics concerns itself with trying to explain the intricacies of close interpersonal relationships such as those with a lover, close friend, or family. Written by two women, Leslie Baxter and Barbara Montgomery, it comes across a little more "touchy-feely" than other theories. This Humanist quality in the way it iw presented allows myself to critique Relational Dialectics in the following fashion. According to Griffin, there are five standards that are reliable to the critique of Humanist theories, and they are: New understanding of people; clarification of values; aestetic appeal; community agreement; reform society. Taking a closer look.
Day Four. Santiago was in a peaceful sleep until the Marlin woke up by jerking the line.

This book has great balances of love interests, actions, and internal conflict with characters. It has an interesting story so far with new pieces coming up every few chapters that are very important. Like Al attacking Tris, Eric talking about Divergents and how the rebels must be eliminated. Tris and Four are developing feelings for each other, which I find weird because he is basically her teacher. They are only two years apart, so the relationship is not that awkward. In this journal I will be predicting, evaluating, and questioning.
6. (CC) Since Madame Loisel is the protagonist; I would say the necklace itself is the antagonist. As you can tell from the title of this short story, the necklace is the center of the conflict that is created to the Loisels. It is after Madame loses the necklace that all the trouble begins. Also, the necklace causes them misery and they end up being in debt. Madame and her husband had to work harder than they ever before to pay off the
The very first lines of the story sets the tone and setting of this book. It explains that in order for a man to be successful, he needs a wife. It lays the foundation for the idea that a women depends on man to survive in society. Wealthy, upper class men were the biggest targets for a women to marry because marriage was the entrance into high society. Mrs. Bennet exclaims, “Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls! (Austen 2)” This shows the dependence of women on man and the hope a promising bachelor gives to a family of daughters. Women were raised to be promising wives for man. Learning to cook, play instruments, look pretty, and clean were all essential
Dialectic and rhetoric deal with expressing an opinion or the refutation of one. Both require the skillful use of dialog and ones oratory abilities. However, this is where the similarities end. Generally directed at a smaller audience, and is interactive with the orator answering questions as well as asking them. Dialectic utilizes reasoned deliberation and sometimes vigorous debate between the speaker and the audience to find a consensus on

There are three different types of argument structures. There are linear, branching and joint structures of argument. Each of these structures are different according to the relationship between their premises and conclusions. In this paper, I will be focusing on the difference between joint and branching structures.

Al-Sulaimaan (2011: 34), states that “Pragmatics studies language in use. It concentrates on those aspects of meaning that cannot be predicted by linguistic knowledge alone, and takes into account our knowledge about the physical and social
