The Cognitive Dimension of Social Argumentation Proceedings of the 4th European Conference on Argumentation Volume III (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781848904736)

This is Volume III of the proceedings of the 4th European Conference on Argumentation, "The cognitive dimension of social argumentation", held at the University of Roma Tre in September 2022. The European Conference on Argumentation (ECA) is an international initiative aiming to consolidate and advance various strands of research on argumentation and reasoning by gathering scholars from a range of disciplines such as philosophy, communication, linguistics, computer science, cognitive science, discourse analysis, and more. The 2022 Rome edition focused on the sociocognitive factors that affect argumentation, both in terms of dynamics and outcomes.

Taken together, the contributions collected in these three volumes of the ECA 2022 proceedings provide a faithful approximation of the breadth and depth of ongoing discussions in argumentation scholarship. They also attest how the markedly interdisciplinary character of this field has been evolving in recent years: whereas philosophy and linguistics were always partners in the study of argument, nowadays they are supported also by computer science and experimental psychology, as well as communication and media studies in a broader sense - all of which are well represented in this volume.
