Chapter 4 provides an overview of empirical methodologies in argumentation.
Chapter 5 presents a series of exploratory studies discussing three pragmatic factors.
Chapter 6 addresses the question of information structure for the communication of straw man fallacies.
Chapter 7 presents a more detailed analysis of the role of causal connectives used to introduce an argument.
Chapter 8 presents a cross-linguistic examination of the role of causal connectives with attributive functions.
