“…The model can be used as a frame of reference in identifying argumentative moves that are analytically relevant but may be irrelevant from an evaluative perspective, i.e., fallacious. 15 As we explained earlier (e.g., van Eemeren and Houtlosser 2002), arguers who aim to resolve a difference of opinion make use of "strategic manoeuvring": the rhetorical exploitation of the margins for verbal action left by the arguers' dialectical obligations in the various stages of a critical discussion. The strategic manoeuvring is sound as long as it remains in agreement with the rules for critical discussion, but it may also derail and become fallacious.…”

“…But these examples also show that such arguments are often dangerous in that they have a powerful persuasive effect that goes far beyond the force of rational persuasion that they should be properly taken to carry. The question is how they work as rhetorical strategies of strategic maneuvering (van Eemeren and Houtlosser, 2000). It may be suggested as a hypothesis, based on what has been shown, that the reason for this deceptiveness is that failures of relevance associated with these kinds of fallacies are concealed by dialectical shifts.…”

“…How could we train students of critical thinking to recognize such a deception that conceals the shift from the one argument to the other one? How do such arguments have such a powerful persuasive effect as rhetorical strategies of strategic maneuvering (van Eemeren and Houtlosser, 2000)? It will now be argued, by proceeding to a second level of analysis, that the reason for this deceptiveness is a failure of relevance concealed by an implicit contextual shift .…”

Eight structural criteria are developed as part of a dialogical method by testing them against seven examples of arguments from negative consequences. The aim is to provide a method for evaluating the arguments in the examples as fallacious or not. It is shown that any method that can be satisfactorily used to evaluate such examples needs to be based on two techniques. The first is careful application of argumentation underlying shifts from one type of dialog to another schemes. The second is consideration of contextual factors concerning. Résumé:On développe huit critères dans une approche dialogique pour déterminer si des arguments fondés sur des conséquences négatives sont fallacieux. On montre que n'importe quelle méthode qu'on peut employer pour évaluer de façon satisfaisante ces types d'arguments doit reposer sur deux techniques : une application soignée des schèmes argumentatifs ; et l'examen de facteurs contextuels concernant des changements sous-jacents lorsqu'on passe d'un type de dialogue à un autre

“…The framework adopted here, the Extended Pragma-Dialectical Argumentation Theory (see Van Eemeren 2010), assumes that people who are engaged in argumentative discourse are maneuvering strategically. 'Strategic maneu-vering' refers to the efforts that arguers make in argumentative discourse to reconcile rhetorical effectiveness with the maintenance of dialectical standards of reasonableness.…”
