metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article examines some epistemic aspects of latent euphemisation in argumentative discourse.
  The purpose of the work is to show that, by focusing on the notion of voice which links
  talk and context, positive discourse analysis (PDA) can serve as a meta-orientation in analysing
  alternative discourses. The theoretical framework for the analysis is the pragma-dialectical
  approach to argumentation, which discusses methods and tools for improving discussion and
  reconciling dissensual opinions. According to M. Gerber, some of the potential problems of
  the pragma-dialectical approach are “ethical deficiencies”, “the risk of amorality” and limitations
  regarding the method for evaluating arguments in accordance with goals, purposes and
  consequences. This article argues that the pragma-dialectical approach to argumentation can
  be implemented to identify latent euphemisation as fallacious reasoning. However, the evaluation
  of language use as latently euphemistic, and consequently, fallacious, is an epistemic judgment
  that needs to take into account discussants’ epistemic and epistemological boundaries
  and commitments, including ethical considerations. As communication can lead to miscommunication
  unless a common epistemological background is shared, latent euphemisation
  can be seen as a result of inconsistent epistemological positions whose potential motives and
  consequences need to be addressed.
