Call for Papers: “Argumentation and Speech Acts”

Calls, Publications
ARGUMENTATION AND SPEECH ACTS Monographic issue in Informal Logic: call for papers. RESEARCH GROUP ActArg SCIENTIFIC UNIT OF EXCELLENCE FiloLab-ugr Department of Philosophy I, University of Granada, Spain. Topic: Argumentation theorists find it natural to speak of acts of arguing and speech-acts of arguing. An account of argumentation as a speech-act is meant to be of help, if not fundamental, for the analysis and appraisal of argumentative discourse and dialogue, which is argumentation theory’s main goal. Besides, as van Eemeren and Grootendorst (1984) pointed out, characterizing argumentation as a speech-act enables us to make sense of it as conducive to certain perlocutionary effects, such as persuading an addressee or audience or resolving a difference of opinion. However, that argumentation is a type of illocution is far from mainstream and linguistic…

María J. Frápolli (ed.)(2019), Expressivisms, Knowledge and Truth. Cambridge University Press

News, Publications
Claims with expressive meaning do not represent states of affairs. This thesis defines expressivisms of all kinds. Its scope can be global affecting all uses of language, or alternatively be restricted to some specific areas of discourse, or to some specific terms and phrases. This volume offers a comprehensive survey of the varieties and subtleties of nondescriptivist and non-representationalist views currently discussed in the philosophy of language, meta-semantics and meta-ethics, which are rooted in the two main sources of contemporary expressivism: the approach to the meaning of ethical terms derived from meta-ethical emotivism, and the pragmatic approach to ‘meaning as use’ that Wittgenstein displayed in his Philosophical Investigations. Contributors: Dorit Bar-On, Corine Besson, Matthew Chrisman, María José Frápolli, Javier Osorio, Huw Price, Andres Soria, Isidora Stojanovic, Neftalí Villanueva, and José…
