Argumentacja jako akt mowy i strategia konwersacyjna
Argumentation as a speech act and conversational strategy

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents ‘argumentation’ as a typological concept defined in terms of the theories of speech acts and conversational strategies. In the first part, we discuss historical attempts to define argumentation as a speech act and present issues concerning the role of linguistic indicators, felicity conditions, the com plexity of speech acts, and their classification. In the second part, we present argumentation as an element of conversational strategy and macro-strategy. The proposed approach enables capturing argumentation as a phenomenon that functions at different levels of complexity of an utterance and conversation. On the one hand, this allows us to expose the interdisciplinary character of the phenomenon itself, which is the subject of interest of rhetoric, logic, psychology, and linguistics, and on the other, to establish argumentation as the subject of interest of linguistics in the strict sense.
