Reconstruction of Metaphors in Argumentation : a Case Study of Lincoln´s Metaphor of ?Swapping Horses While Crossing a Stream?

Original language description

The paper deals with the possibilities of reconstruction of metaphors as a means of argumentation provided by pragma-dialectics. In the case of Lincoln´s famous statement, in which he uses the metaphor of ?swapping horses while crossing a stream? for replacing the President, two methods of the reconstruction currently under consideration are first introduced: metaphor as an argument by analogy in the ?standard? model of pragma-dialectics and as a presentation device in pragma-dialectics extended by theconcept of strategic maneuvering. Then, a competing reconstruction of Lincoln´s metaphors in the Argumentum Model of Topics (AMT) is presented, which is based on the development of the pragma-dialectical concept of material and procedural starting-points. Lincoln´s argument is reconstructed as a complex argument, where the metaphor figures as a sub-argument using locus from analogy that is used to support a datum in the main branch of the argument.
