Reframing as an argumentative competence in dispute mediation

Jermini-Martinez Soria, Chiara ; Greco, Sara (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2021 ; 2021COM005.

Dispute mediation is a dialogical and communicative process in which a neutral third party, a mediator, helps conflicting parties modifying the way in which they interact with each other so that they become able to co-construct a solution to their conflict that is mutually satisfactory. Mediators cannot impose solutions to the parties, yet they play a fundamental role in conflict resolutions...

The inferential configuration of arguments : the Argumentum Model of Topics

Greco, Sara ; Rigotti, Eddo

In: Inference in argumentation: a topics-based approach to argument schemes, 2019, vol. 34, p. 207-245

In this chapter, our proposal for the analysis of argument schemes as based on the tradition of topoi-loci called the Argumentum Model of Topics (AMT) is presented (first introduced in Rigotti and Greco 2006).

Mediators’ reframing as a constitutive element of a reconciliatory argumentative style

Greco, Sara ; Jermini-Martinez Soria, Chiara

In: Journal of argumentation in context, 2021, vol. 10, no. 1, p. 73-96

This paper shows that reframing of conflict can be considered as a constitutive element of a “reconciliatory argumentative style” (van Eemeren, 2019), which is typical of dispute mediators, whose aim is to steer parties towards the resolution of their conflict. On the basis of a systematic empirical analysis of mediation cases, we first show that reframing encompasses a change of issue,...
