Product Description

This book shows how research in linguistic pragmatics, philosophy of language,and rhetoric can be connected through argumentation to analyze a recognizablycommon strategy used in political and everyday conversation, namely the distortionof anothers words in an argumentative exchange. Straw man argumentation refers tothe modification of a position by misquoting, misreporting or wrenching the originalspeakers statements from their context in order to attack them more easily or moreeffectively. Through 63 examples taken from different contexts (including politicaland forensic discourses and dialogs) and 20 legal cases, the book analyzes the explicitand implicit types of straw man, shows how to assess the correctness of a quote or areport, and illustrates the arguments that can be used for supporting an interpretationand defending against a distortion. The tools of argumentation theory, a discipline aimed at investigating the uses of arguments by combining insights from pragmatics, logic, and communication,are appliedto provide an original account of interpretation and reporting, and to describe and illustrate tactics and procedures that can be used and implemented for practical purposes.. This book will appeal to scholarsin the fields of political communication, communication in general, argumentationtheory, rhetoric and pragmatics, as well as to people working in public speech, speechwriting, and discourse analysis.
