- Abstract
The main aim of this study is to draw attention, in a critical manner, to what communication performance means, on the one hand from the perspective of argumentation theories, and on the other hand from the perspective of the current public arena and its dynamics. Firstly, the conceptual article revises several approaches in the field of argumentation theories: natural logic, discursive schematizations, interactive argumentation strategies, discursive interaction rules imposed by the pragma-dialectical theory of discourse, highlighting the meaning of communicative performance according to these analytical perspectives. Subsequently, the attention is turned to the research question that underlies the study: does argumentation theories have an outdated perspective? It seems that the field of argumentation theories is overtaken by current communicational and political realities characterized by infodemia, misinformation, emphasis on image and argumentative over-simplification. However, in the second part of the article we argue that some concepts extensively studied in the field of argumentation theories, such as common construction of the meaning, the discursive schematizations, the interactivity aspects of communication are able to contribute to the current requirement of communicative performance, thus the study is affirmatively answering to the question addressed by the title.
