Other voices in argumentation: updating polyphony and reformulation of discourse semantic argumentative description

Abstract

Polyphonic conception of sense in the Theory of Argumentation in Language (TAL) is constantly reformulated, since its original proposal by Ducrot in 1980, until TAL latest version, the Theory of Semantic Blocks, by Oswald Ducrot and Marion Carel, following the evolution of the very theory in which it inscribes. Due to this development, I intend in this paper to begin reformulating the model I proposed for discourse semantic description by TAL, specifically here, as regards the role played by polyphony, since the model takes as its basis TAL polyphonic conception developed up to 2002.
