The Pragmatic Foundation of Generalized Argumentation Theory—From the Perspective of Adaption Theory
Under the framework of generalized argumentation theory,argumentation is re-garded as a social interaction implemented by language,which is a reasoning activity car-ried out through the use of natural language.The unique research perspective and special analytical method of this theory require a dynamic synthetic perspective in the pragmatic analysis of argumentation and Jef Verschueren's pragmatic views on language-context"adaptation"conform to this requirement.This paper attempts to illustrate the pragmatic process and foundation of generalized argumentation with the above views.
