| Abstract |
It is common for televised political debates to include split-screen shots which give the non-speaking
opponent an opportunity to engage in nonverbal argumentation during an opponent’s turn. In this
paper we reconstruct this communicative move as a case of strategic maneuvering. We address three
questions about this behavior. Given 1) dialectical obligations, 2) rhetorical possibilities, and 3)
preconditions of the activity type, what counts as reasonable and effective instances of this strategic
maneuver in televised political debates?
