Prototypical Argumentative Patterns reports about a research project started at the University of Amsterdam in 2012. In this project, distinctive argumentative patterns have been identified in argumentative discourse in the political, the legal and the medical domain. These patterns consist of constellations of argumentative moves in which, to deal with a kind of difference of opinion, in defence of a standpoint, an argument scheme or combination of argument schemes is used in a kind of argumentation structure. The composition of prototypical argumentative patterns can be explained by referring to the institutional characteristics of the communicative activity types in which they occur. By exploring the relationship between argumentative discourse and the institutional context, Frans van Eemeren, Bart Garssen, Corina Andone, Eveline Feteris and Francisca Snoeck Henkemans have provided a new and illuminating perspective on the context-dependency of argumentative discourse.
