- Abstract
Altogether, the inescapable interdependence between performing speech acts and arguing creates a fertile ground for examining intricate relations between speech acts and arguments, not least from a normative angle. The aim of this special issue is to use the framework of speech act theory to understand the broadly construed normativity of disputes ("argument" in one sense) and reasoning ("argument" in another sense) in the public sphere. Several prominent theories have developed around the efforts to capture the uniqueness of argumentation among other speech acts, focusing on its complexity unacknowledged in early speech act theory (Bermejo-Luque [5]; van Eemeren and Grootendorst [69]; Hitchcock [25]). Furthermore, the complex speech act of argumentation is typically constructed within argumentative discussions - and these discussions include a plethora of argumentation-relevant speech acts which are not I per se i speech acts of argumentation: agreeing on a starting point, advancing a position, asking critical questions, conceding a point, retracting, concluding, etc. (van Eemeren and Grootendorst [69]; Walton and Krabbe [70]).
