Communicative domains
- legal communication: highly formalized and conventionalized
- political domain: some practices are to a lesser degree formally conventionalized than others
- interpersonal domain: seem at first sight not to be conventionalized, but at closer inspection involve some informal conventions
Other conventionalized domains are the scholarly, medical, commercial, problem-solving and diplomatic domain.
Walton & Krabbe’s approach of the contextuality of argumentation
Dialectical system (of rules). Normative, can be used to model contexts of dialogue in which argumentation takes place in everyday conversation of various kinds.
Dialogue types:
rule-governed and generic conversational entities
rule-governed and generic conversational entities
- persuasion dialogue/critical discussion
- negotiation
- inquiry
- deliberation
- information-seeking dialogue
- eristics
Idea:
each dialogue type yields a separate normative model of argumentation, with its own specific rules prescribing what good argumentation is
Adjudication:
judgment is made by a third party, parties adjust their discussion roles to convince the adjudicator rather than each other, it is argumentative and strongly formally institutionalized
Deliberation:
empathically argumentative communicative activity type, there is mixed disagreement, usually not entirely conventionalized, often aimed at convincing a third party, but not always
Mediation:
to a large part argumentative, aims to a solution that is satisfactory for both parties in the dispute, there may be a mediator, but he has no final say
Negotation:
starts from a conflict of interests, there is no third party, degree of conventionalization may vary per activity, there is argumentation involved, but often in the shape of offers, counteroffers and commissives
