This book provides a new, linguistic approach to Argumentation Theory. Its main goal is to integrate the logical, dialectical and rhetorical dimensions of argumentation in a model providing a unitary treatment of its justificatory and persuasive powers. This model takes as its basis Speech Acts Theory in order to characterize argumentation as a secondorder speech act complex. The result is a systematic and comprehensive theory of the interpretation, analysis and evaluation of arguments. This theory sheds light on the many faces of argumentative communication: verbal and nonverbal, monological and dialogical, literal and nonliteral, ordinary and specialized.The book takes into consideration the major current comprehensive accounts of good argumentation (Perelmans New Rhetoric, Pragmadialectics, the ARG model, the Epistemic Approach) and shows that these accounts have fundamental weaknesses rooted in their instrumentalist conception of argumentation as an activity oriented to a goal external to itself. Furthermore, the author addresses some challenging metatheoretical questions such as the justification problem for Argumentation Theory models and the relationship between reasoning and arguing.
