Danblon et al. proposes a reconceptualisation of the opposition between narration and argumentation. More often than not the two are studied separately as two distinct textual types characterized by different designs: narration as aiming at organizing events discursively into a narrative that renders them intelligible; argumentation as aiming at persuading, often in support of decision making processes. Though (at first sight) convenient and intuitively satisfying, such a distinction requires being qualified when one seeks to account for empirical data. Argumentation et narration is the inaugural publication of GRAL (Groupe de Recherches en Rhe ´torique et en Argumentation Linguistique, Free University of Brussels). It investigates the relationship between the two discursive registers from a multidisciplinary perspective, involving law, philosophy, bioethics, analysis of political and literary discourse. The book is organized into four parts. The first part includes studies on political discourses. It focuses on the role of paradeigma in deliberative argumentation (texts by TI - Emmanuelle Danblon, Emmanuel de Jonge, Ekaterina Kissina & Loïc Nicolas (eds): Review of Argumentation et narration JF - Argumentation DO - 10.1007/s10503-009-9177-4 DA - 2010-01-23 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/emmanuelle-danblon-emmanuel-de-jonge-ekaterina-kissina-lo-c-nicolas-3GwMl3VhIM SP - 255 EP - 257 VL - 24 IS - 2 DP - DeepDyve ER -
