Greco, Sara Jermini-Martinez Soria, Chiara 2021 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, which may or may not be justified by arguments. Then, we show how it is functional to the three aspects of mediators’ strategic manoeuvring, being used consistently by mediators in their effort to help parties solve their conflict on the basis of reasonable discussion. application/pdf https://localhost:5000/ark:/12658/srd1319168 https://susi.usi.ch/global/documents/319168 https://susi.usi.ch/documents/319168/files/greco_JAC_2021.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1075/jaic.20019.gre info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/ark/12658/srd1319168 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess License undefined Journal of argumentation in context. - John Benjamins. - 2021, vol. 10, no. 1, p. 73-96 Argumentative style Dispute mediation Reconciliatory style Reframing and strategic manoeuvring info:eu-repo/classification/udc/81 Mediators’ reframing as a constitutive element of a reconciliatory argumentative style http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
