Abstract
This paper summarizes various interpretations of emotional arguments, with a focus on the emotional mode of argument introduced in the multi-modal argumentation model (Gilbert, 1994). From there the author shifts from a descriptive account of emotional arguments to a discussion about a normative framework. Pointing out problems with evaluative models of the emotional mode, a paradigmatic shift captured by the Amenable Argumentation Approach is explained as a way forward for the advancement of the emotional mode and multi-modal argumentation.
Keywords:
- amenable argumentation approach,
- argument1,
- argument2,
- argumentative multilingualism,
- conceptual framework,
- critical-logical model,
- emotional mode,
- multi-modal argumentation
Résumé
Cet article résume diverses interprétations des arguments émotionnels, en mettant l'accent sur le mode d'argument émotionnel introduit dans le modèle d'argumentation multimodal (Gilbert, 1994). De là, l'auteur passe d'un récit descriptif d'arguments émotionnels à une discussion sur un cadre normatif. Soulignant les problèmes des modèles évaluatifs du mode émotionnel, l'auteur décrit un changement de paradigme capturé par l'approche d'argumentation comme une voie à suivre pour l'avancement du mode émotionnel et de l'argumentation multimodale.
