Arguing

"Arguing: Exchanging Reasons Face to Face describes the process and products of face-to-face argument. Author Dale Hample presents arguing as a type of interpersonal interaction, rather than as a kind of text or a feature of a public speech. He focuses primarily on argument production in this work, and explores the rhetorical and philosophical traditions of arguing, keeping as the volume's main focus the integration of arguing into the literatures on message production, conflict management, and interpersonal communication." "This work is appropriate for scholars and advanced students in argumentation, discourse, persuasion, conflict management, interpersonal communication, organizational communication and message production."--Jacket.
