This volume focuses on the role language plays at all levels of the argumentation process. It explores the effects that specific linguistic choices may have in the production and the reception of arguments and in doing so, it moves beyond the first, necessary, descriptive stance provided by current literature on the topic. Each chapter provides an original take illuminating one or more of the following three issues: the range of linguistic resources language users draw on as they argue; how cognitive processes of meaning construction may influence argumentative practices; and which discursive devices can be used to fulfil a number of argumentative goals. The volume includes theoretical and empirical or applied stances, providing the reader both with state-of-the-art reflections on the relationship between argumentation and language, and with concrete examples of how this relationship plays out in naturally occurring argumentative practices, such as classroom interaction, and political, parliamentary or journalistic discourse.
This is a very original, timely and welcome contribution to the study of argumentation conducted with the tools of the language sciences. The collection of papers relevantly tackles key linguistic, discursive and cognitive aspects of argumentative practices whose treatment is underrepresented in mainstream argumentation studies by offering new and exciting linguistically-grounded theoretical accounts. As such, the volume testifies both to the vigour of the linguistic current within the discipline and to the high standards of scholarly commitment and quality that the younger generation is pushing forward. Without question, this book marks an important milestone in the relationships between linguistics and argumentation theory.

About the Author
Steve OSWALD is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. His research scopes over the fields of linguistics, pragmatics, argumentation theory and cognitive science, and his main area of investigation covers the interface between language and cognition in discourse. He has extensively worked on verbal deception and the rhetorical effectiveness of (fallacious) argumentation, integrating both phenomena in a cognitive pragmatic theory of verbal communication and complementing this theoretical import with empirical studies of media and political discourse. From a methodological perspective, his work has explored how a cognitive pragmatic model can be a powerful tool in the analysis of discourse, notably in what regards argument reconstruction. His latest research project is devoted to a theoretical and empirical exploration of the argumentative features of conspiracy theories and tries to interface extant research in cognitive and social psychology with more traditional philosophical approaches to conspiracy theories through an account of their typical argumentative profiling. He has co-edited a special issue of the Journal of Pragmatics with Didier Maillat (Elsevier, 2013), a collective volume with Thierry Herman, Rhetoric & Cognition (Peter Lang, 2014), contributed many chapters in edited books and also published his research in a number of other international outlets (Pragmatics & Cognition, Argumentation, International Review of Pragmatics, Discourse Studies among others).
Thierry HERMAN is an Associate Professor and Senior Lecturer at the Univeristies of Neuchâtel and Lausanne. He is also docente in the Institute for Argumentation and Language Studies at the Università della Svizzera italiana (Lugano). His research is focused on rhetoric and persuasion, considered from a linguistic and pragmatic frame. He has worked on political, journalistic and academic discourses, showing how the rhetorical frame (that is to say a social, discursive and cognitive frame) is useful to pinpoint persuasive strategies and fallacious arguments. He has also a deep interest in the link between argumentation theory and linguistics and many of his talks or publications are about structures of argumentation, argumentation from authority, explanation and argumentation, Toulmin’s layout of arguments. He has co-edited a collective volume with Steve Oswald, Rhetoric & Cognition (Peter Lang, 2014) and contributed many chapters in edited books. He has mainly published in French outlets (Argumentation et Analyse de discours, Semen, Communication et Langage, among others) and will be publishing an online book of tools for rhetorical analysis of texts during 2016-2017. He has co-founded a research group gathering scholars interested by argumentation in Switzerland (CoRReA) with Jérôme Jacquin, Steve Oswald and Raphaël Micheli.
Jérôme JACQUIN is a Lecturer in the Departments of French Linguistics and Language & Information Sciences at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland. He is also a Research Associate in the “Language in the Workplace” project at the Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, where he has been invited as Visiting Scholar and funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation [P2LAP1_155110]. His research draws on insights and methods from Interactional Linguistics and Multimodal Conversation Analysis to investigatehow verbal practices are multimodally accomplished and interpreted in ordinary, professional, and institutional settings. He has been focusing primarily on argumentation and stancetaking in political debates and workplace meetings, with a particular interest in the expression of disagreement and decision-making processes. He is currently working on embodied deixis in argumentation. He has published a book and co-edited two collective volumes (De Boeck,2011, 2014, and 2015) and a special issue of the Journal of the Swiss Association for Applied Linguistics (2015). He has also published his research in a number of chapters of edited volumes and international outlets (Discourse & Communication, Digital Scholarship in the Humanities, Journal of the Swiss Association for Applied Linguistics, Semen, Mots, Langue Française, among others).

(2) A ‘consumer' in the sense of the following regulations is every natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities. The term ‘businessman' refers to every natural person, legal person or legally responsible partnership that concludes a legal transaction in pursuance of his/its independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The subject-matter of the contract is the selling of products .
(2) If an article is placed by us with AbeBooks or ZVAB, the activation of the page on AbeBooks or ZVAB shall involve the binding offer to conclude a contract under the terms and conditions contained in the article page.
(3) The contract shall become effective via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The products intended for purchase are moved to the "shopping cart". You can select the "Shopping Cart" using the appropriate buttons on the navigation bar and make changes there at any time.
After calling up the "Checkout" page and entering the required personal data and payment and shipping conditions, all order information is then displayed again on the order summary page.
Before submitting the order, you have the ability once more to review or change any information here (you may also use the "back" button on the Internet browser), or to cancel the purchase.
By clicking the "Buy now" button to submit the order, you declare your legally binding acceptance of the order which makes the contract effective.

Even if you do not comply with this request, it shall have no effect on your legal warranty claims.
(3) If a characteristic of the goods deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation shall only be deemed to be agreed if you were informed of the same by us before submitting the contractual declaration and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed between the contracting parties.
§ 5 Choice of law, place of fulfilment, jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. This choice of law only applies to customers if it does not result in the revocation of the protection guaranteed by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the respective customer's usual place of residence is located (benefit-of-the-doubt principle).
(2) If you are not a consumer, but a businessman, a legal entity under public law or an institutional fund governed by public law, our place of business is the place of jurisdiction as well as the place of fulfilment for all services that follow from the business relationships that exist with us. The same condition applies to situations in which you are not associated with a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU, as well as situations in which the place of residence or the usual place of residence is not known at the time of commencement of proceedings.
