Dialectic and Rhetoric - The Warp and Woof of Argumentation Analysis (Paperback, Softcover reprint of hardcover 1st ed. 2002)

This volume discusses two distinct perspectives on the analysis of argumentative discourse: the dialectical and the rhetorical perspective. It intends to open a thorough discussion of the two approaches, their commonalities and differences, and the ways in which, in some combination or other, they can be used to further the development of sound analytic tools for dealing with argumentation.
