Abstract

In this paper, we advocate for a multidimensional approach to the analysis of argumentation by considering its cognitive, discursive, and multimodal grounding. First, we briefly discuss the main theoretical premises of such an approach, assuming a multidisciplinary perspective. Second, by drawing on different traditions of argumentation studies, we introduce the five dimensions we consider relevant for a holistic analysis of argumentative practices – functional configuration, macrostructure, schematization, socio-affective grounding, and argumentative orientation. Finally, we illustrate the functioning of the model through a multidimensional analysis of an argumentative move extracted from a Brazilian television political interview.
