Abstract

The study of rhetoric and argumentation mainly concentrates on how people use verbal language. However, diagrams have been used since ancient times in Western culture to clarify and simplify the cognitive procedures involved in discourse. This paper aims to shed light on this diagrammatic practice. An original diagram, the argumentative tetrahedron, will be presented on this occasion, the corpus of examples consisting of media positions on Covid-19 vaccination.
