Polyphonic Argumentation in Press Discourse

Journal Title: In Translation / في الترجمة - Year 2021, Vol 8, Issue 1

Abstract

Journalistic writing employs and mobilizes a number of discursive devices, such as polyphony and argumentation. These two processes combine in some cases to form a whole discursive process, which is referred to as ‘argumentative polyphony.’ The objective of this article is to reflect on and problematize the notion of ‘argumentative polyphony’ in the journalistic columns of Sid Ahmed Semiane and Hakim Laalam. Through this study, we aim to understand the function of argumentative polyphony and its use in the press discourse via a linguistic study inspired by the theory of argumentation of Oswald Ducrot (1980/1984)) and Jean-Claude Anscombre.
