Produktbeschreibung
The Logic of Academic Writing was developed from a practical educational need, namely teaching early-year Ph.D. students some basic ideas on how they can structure their arguments in ways that may make sense for an academic paper to be written and consequently published. The authors' research expertise is in argumentation studies: the discipline that analyzes how arguments are produced, evaluated, and addressed, considering the pragmatic, logical, and dialectical levels. Since academic writing is characterized by supporting an original idea through proofs or arguments, the book focuses on the "logic" of writing, that is, on the reasoning we use for structuring ideas, paragraphs, and papers...the reasoning mechanisms that we use when we develop and organize our ideas, connect them with other ideas, and support them through arguments.
Autorenporträt
Fabrizio Macagno (Ph.D. Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Milan, 2008) is a researcher and invited assistant professor at the Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal. His current research, between the fields of linguistics and philosophy of language, is focused on the persuasive use of emotive language and on the dialectical dimension of discourse implicitness, which he analyzes within the contexts of legal and political discourse. He applies the theoretical models developed to the context of education, proposing methods for analyzing classroom discourse and conversation. He is the author of several papers on definition, informal fallacies, argumentation schemes, and dialogue theory published in major international peer-reviewed journals such as Journal of Pragmatics, Intercultural Pragmatics, Argumentation, Philosophy and Rhetoric, Informal Logic, and Pragmatics and Cognition. His most important publications include the books Argumentation Schemes (Cambridge University Press, 2008), Emotive Language in Argumentation (Cambridge University Press, 2014), and Interpreting Straw Man Argumentation (Springer, 2017).
