Routledge Argumentation, Communication, and Fallacies Book

Improve your understanding of argumentative discourse with this theoretical account from Routledge. This volume provides a deep look into how argumentation works within a communicative perspective. By examining the fallacies that occur when rules of communication are violated, the authors present a new way to look at the subject. Instead of relying on purely linguistic or logical approaches, this book offers a pragma-dialectical perspective. It characterizes argumentation as a complex speech act used during critical discussions. This approach is designed to help readers understand how people work to resolve differences of opinion through structured dialogue. It is an essential resource for those studying cognition, communication, and the mechanics of debate.
