“…As the purpose of such discourse relates more to rhetoric than to argumentation, unambiguous analysis of such phenomena goes beyond capabilities of the current argumentation model. For a discussion about metaphors in Toulmin's model of argumentation see, for example, Xu and Wu (2014), Santibáñez (2010).…”

The goal of argumentation mining, an evolving research field in computational linguistics, is to design methods capable of analyzing people's argumentation. In this article, we go beyond the state of the art in several ways. (i) We deal with actual Web data and take up the challenges given by the variety of registers, multiple domains, and unrestricted noisy user-generated Web discourse. (ii) We bridge the gap between normative argumentation theories and argumentation phenomena encountered in actual data by adapting an argumentation model tested in an extensive annotation study. (iii) We create a new gold standard corpus (90k tokens in 340 documents) and experiment with several machine learning methods to identify argument components. We offer the data, source codes, and annotation guidelines to the community under free licenses. Our findings show that argumentation mining in user-generated Web discourse is a feasible but challenging task.Comment: Cite as: Habernal, I. & Gurevych, I. (2017).

“…Although the linguistic level of metaphor has received most attention in argumentation-theoretical literature, more recent studies incorporate cognitive linguistic insights into their approach and take the conceptual dimension of metaphor into account (e.g., Pielenz 1993;Santibáñez 2010;Oswald and Rihs 2014;Xu and Wu 2014). In these contributions, it is argued that certain linguistic expressions in discourse are based on implicit, underlying conceptual metaphors that install a set of correspondences between the source domain and the target domain.…”

“…Based on the analyses in the literature, the functions that are (implicitly) attributed to metaphor are: (part of a) standpoint (Oswald and Rihs 2014;Wagemans 2016), (part of a) material or minor premise (Oswald and Rihs 2014;Wagemans 2016), connection or maior premise (Xu and Wu 2014;Wagemans 2016), and starting point/backing (Pielenz 1993;Renardel de Lavalette et al 2019;Santibáñez 2010;Xu and Wu 2014). Most commonly, metaphors are regarded as a type of analogy argumentation (Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca 1969;Reboul 1989;Pielenz 1993;Garssen and Kienpointner 2011).…”

The Study of Metaphor in Argumentation Theory

This paper offers a review of the argumentation-theoretical literature on metaphor in argumentative discourse. Two methodologies are combined: the pragma-dialectical theory is used to study the argumentative functions attributed to metaphor, and distinctions made in metaphor theory and the three-dimensional model of metaphor are used to compare the conceptions of metaphor taken as starting point in the reviewed literature. An overview is provided of all types of metaphors distinguished and their possible argumentative functions. The study reveals that not all possible argumentative functions of metaphor have been taken into account, such as the role of conventional direct metaphors in standpoint and starting point. Novel direct metaphor as part of an analogy argument has received most attention, while indirect metaphor can constitute argumentative moves as well, such as the introduction of a standpoint, starting point or connection premise. The overview also shows that certain combinations of variables seem to be impossible of unlikely to occur. These results have a bearing on the analysis of metaphors in argumentative discourse and show the omission in current studies of metaphor. Being aware of these dimensions of metaphor ánd of its potential in argumentation would enrich argumentation studies and metaphor studies alike.

“…para "Cantantes Profesionales" y D.C. para "Docentes de Canto". estudiantes no recurren a una única proyección metafórica para comprender el concepto de appoggio, sino que agrupan diferentes proyecciones metafóricas en cadenas únicas de sentido (Kimmel, 2010;Xu y Wu, 2014) …”

Desarrollo conceptual, metáfora y metonimia. Un modelo para comprender la trayectoria cognitiva del concepto ‘appoggio’

En el ámbito de la investigación psicológica vinculada a la pedagogía de la voz cantada, se ha demostrado la utilidad de la Teoría de la Metáfora Conceptual para la comprensión de ciertos fenómenos educativos que tienen lugar en situaciones de clase. Particularmente, se evidenció que la traslación que esta teoría propone respecto de la metáfora desde el nivel del nombrar al nivel del pensar permite comprender más cabalmente la utilización de lenguaje figuratvo en la clase de canto como una herramienta para promover mayores grados de signifcación y conceptualización de la práctica vocal. No obstante, existe una cuestión que no ha sido sufic-entemente indagada: la relación entre el pensamiento metonímico y los conceptos asociados a la performance vocal. En este trabajo sostenemos que ciertas problemáticas pedagógico-vocales pueden repensarse a partir de una discusión sobre la naturaleza de los conceptos propios del campo en términos de las categorías pensamiento metafórico y metonímico. Apelando a datos provenientes de una encuesta realizada anteriormente, se propone y discute un modelo de desarrollo del concepto de appoggio basado en tres realizaciones conceptuales: primaria, secundaria y terciaria. Se sugiere que dicha discusión podría colaborar en la dilucidación de la naturaleza del desarrollo conceptual longitudinal técnico-vocal general.
