| Abstract | Although Renkema’s Introduction to Discourse Studies (2004: Chap. 12) provides a useful introduction to the study of argumentation, this brief account does not provide a full characterization of the field. Among the dominant approaches to argumentative discourse a general distinction can be made between dialectical approaches, which view argumentation from a critical perspective as aimed at establishing the tenability of the standpoints at issue, and rhetorical approaches valuing its practical effectiveness. |
