Argumentation theory is uniquely placed to understand and account for the challenges of public reason as expressed through argumentative discourse. The book thus focuses on the extent to which the forms, norms and functions of public argumentation have changed in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. This question is investigated along the three main research lines of the COST Action project CA 17132: European network for Argumentation and Public PoLicY analysis (APPLY): descriptive, normative, and prescriptive. The volume offers a broad range of contributions which treat argumentative phenomena that are directly related to the changes in public discourse in the wake of the outburst of COVID-19. The volume additionally places particular emphasis on expert argumentation, given (i) the importance expert discourse has had over the last two years, and (ii) the challenges that expert argumentation has faced in the public sphere as a result of scientific uncertainty and widespread misinformation. Contributions are divided into three groups, which (i) examine various features and aspects of public and institutional discourse about the COVID-19 pandemic, (ii) scrutinize the way health policies have been discussed, debated, attacked and defended in the public sphere, and (iii) consider a range of proposals meant to improve the quality of public discourse, and public deliberation in particular, in such a way that concrete proposals for argumentative literacy will be brought to light. Overall, this volume constitutes a timely inquiry into all things argumentative in pandemic discourse. This volume is of interest to a broad readership including philosophers, linguists, communication and legal scholars, and members of the wider public who seek to better understand the discourse surrounding communicative phenomena in times of crisis. 410 0$aArgumentation Library,$x2215-1907 ;$v43 606 $aLanguage and languages?Philosophy 606 $aLinguistics?Methodology 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aCommunication 606 $aPhilosophy of Language 606 $aResearch Methods in Language and Linguistics 606 $aSociety 606 $aMedia and Communication 615 0$aLanguage and languages?Philosophy. 615 0$aLinguistics?Methodology. 615 0$aSocial sciences. 615 0$aCommunication. 615 14$aPhilosophy of Language. 615 24$aResearch Methods in Language and Linguistics. 615 24$aSociety. 615 24$aMedia and Communication. 676 $a149.94 700 $aOswald$b Steve$01214469 701 $aLewi?ski$b Marcin$01214470 701 $aGreco$b Sara$0788158 701 $aVillata$b Serena$01214471 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910548277403321 996 $aThe Pandemic of Argumentation$92804376 997 $aUNINA
