Marcin Lewinski, “Polylogical fallacies: Are there any?”<\/p>\n
1. Fallacy in argument is either an inferential infelicity or a disruption of intelligent interaction for dispute resolution.\u00c2\u00a0 Intelligent interaction is dialogue with pro-con rules.\u00c2\u00a0 Fallacies of dialogue are cases of breaking those rules.\u00c2\u00a0 Polylogical contexts have more than two speakers, so have different rules.\u00c2\u00a0 If different rules, then different kinds of ways to break them.\u00c2\u00a0 So polylogical contexts can have different fallacies.<\/p>\n
2. Polylogical context is verbal interaction in interaction of multiple parties with distinct positions.\u00c2\u00a0 So instead of A-B dialogue, it’s A, B, C,D… polylogue.\u00c2\u00a0 Dialogue rules are like rules of court- turn taking.\u00c2\u00a0 Polylog rules are more like rules of order for a potentially raucous group.<\/p>\n
3. Application: false dilemmas are regularly cases of looking at specific dialogical exchanges, but not acknowledging the variety of the positions on the issue.\u00c2\u00a0 Polylogical false dilemma.<\/p>\n
Collateral straw man.\u00c2\u00a0 A, in responding to C, attributes B’s view to C.\u00c2\u00a0 An ‘argument triangle’.<\/p>\n
