- Abstract
This paper seeks to show the reach of pragma-dialectics by describing and analyzing speakers' competence in identifying fallacies in an argumentative speech. The chosen corpus is a set of sixty seven letters by 35 distinct participants corresponding to the debate formed after an opinion column from Agustín Squella titled "¿Es Ud. Católico?" ("Are you a catholic?"). Fallacies were analyzed in all letters that received answers and, in these answers, fallacy recognition markers were searched for. Results indicate that speakers are capable of identifying and rejecting fallacies as arguments but that this doesn't occurred in most cases. Ad hominem is the most recognized fallacy and also the most used of all fallacies.
