Quand construire une position émotionnelle, c'est choisir une conclusion argumentative : le cas d'un café-débat sur l'eau potable au Mexique1

Group Emotions in Collective Reasoning: A Model

“…These emotioning parameters were analyzed on the basis of discursive markers (use of pronouns, emotion lexicon, etc) and on an analysis of implicitness (causal reasoning and use of inferences) for the final class debate on the main question of the café (Polo 2014: 307-358). These studies show that students defending the same argumentative conclusion (here one of the options of answer) adopt similar emotional positions toward the issue (Polo, et al 2013).…”

“…Therefore, emotions are not considered as external factors impacting argumentative discourse, but rather as part of this discourse and the associated reasoning. In this descriptive perspective, the analysis aims at understanding how emotions work as resources to argue and how they play a role in the cognitive schematization process (Polo, Plantin, Lund, Niccolai 2013). Thus, emotions are not apprehended as independent variables but rather through their relation to knowledge, values and norms in a complex appraisal activity.…”

“…Thus, emotions are not apprehended as independent variables but rather through their relation to knowledge, values and norms in a complex appraisal activity. This approach gives birth to two types of research objects under the term "emotion": emotional feeling attached to an experiencer (Plantin 2011(Plantin , 2015, and emotional tonality attached to discourse objects (Grize 1996;1997, Polo et al 2013. In the first case, the discourse signifies someone's feeling, corresponding to similar research objects as those studied by Gilbert (2001), for instance, interested in arguers' expressed emotions.…”

“…Any emotional tonality associated to a discourse object, more or less positive, negative, strong, slight, or even neutral, results from an active discursive work conveying a specific, argumentatively-orientated vision. These emotional tonalities are founded on shared knowledge, values and norms, and play a great role in the construction of an appraisal of corresponding argumentative propositions (Polo et al 2013). In this perspective, emotions are totally integrated into the cognitive processes of building and defending an opinion about an issue (here, the students are defending option A, B, C, D, E or F, on the basis of the multiplechoice pedagogical material which serves as a basis for discussion).…”

Enunciado emotivo e impacto sociointerativo: um estudo de caso em contexto francófono

“…Enquanto as emoções ocupavam um lugar de destaque na retórica antiga, o campo de estudos da argumentação foi se autonomizando até estabelecer uma distinção entre, por um lado, o modelo de demonstração da lógica formal e, por outro, a persuasão (cf. POLO et al, 2013).…”
