Vol. 1 No. 35 (2016): Argumentación y polifonía enunciativa
For argumentative semantics, the sense of our words, expressions or statements is not constituted by the things, the facts or the properties that they denote, nor by the thoughts or beliefs that they suggest, but by the polyphonic-argumentative chains or discourses that those words, expressions or statements evoke. Starting from this characterization of sense, the different contributions gathered here adopt a non-referentialist and non-veritativist approach to signification. They also embrace the polyphonic-argumentative slogan according to which behind the words there are no objects but discourses and points of view attributed to different subjects (the speaker, the listener, the doxa, etc.) from which the situations we are talking about get represented in our statements.
