What is the role of argumentation in intercultural/critical contrastive rhetoric? Does it constitute the largest category in which other linguistic aspects such as the pragmatics of discourse or lexical items are included or does it have the same status as other realms of discourse analysis?
From my point of view, argumentation as described by Toulmin (1958) in Connor (1996: 67) ("the expression of an opinion in the form of an assertion, preference, view or judgement" ) is just on e of the elements of a text that can be analyzed for contrastive puporses.
