Polarized argumentation
Abstract
I have argued (Marraud (2023) that public deliberation is a form of intragroup argumentation that requires participants to categorize themselves as members of the same group. My aim in this article is to further our understanding of argumentative processes in order to improve our understanding of polarization. My thesis is that what is characteristic of polarized deliberation is that it systematically makes use of mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion in the deliberative group, which are reflected in the use of plural pronouns.References
