Argumentative Indicators in Discourse

From the reviews: "This book deals with argumentative indicators, which have so far not been dealt with in such detail within Pragma-Dialectics. ... All in all, then, 'Argumentative Indicators in Discourse' should become an indispensable part of the analytical tool kit of every argumentation scholar. ... I would like to state once more that van Eemeren et al. have made an important and extremely useful contribution to the study of argumentation, which will be greatly enhanced by this clear and well-founded overview about argumentative indicators in discourse."--- (Manfred Kienpointner, Argumentation, Vol. 24, March, 2010)
