Tilting the Frame: A Different View of the Landscape of Argumentation.

In Argumentation Theory: A Pragma-Dialectical Perspective (2018), Professor van Eemeren suggests that it might be worthwhile for pragma-dialectics and informal logic to join forces, given that there is a "considerable amount of common ground" between the two. In this paper, we explore that common ground by considering both the ways logic is understood and incorporated in the pragma-dialectical model and the ways informal logic has developed since its inception in the 1970s. In the process of our investigation, we present a view of the landscape of argumentation in which the subject matter of informal logic is situated relative to theories of argumentation.
