ABSTRACT

From pragma-dialectical argumentation theory, model of critical discussion and triangle of strategic maneuvering can deal with argumentative discourse normatively and descriptively, which remains logical framework and offers effective and flexible space for strategic maneuvering. Argumentative reconstruction under pragma-dialectical perspective provides the language approach of pragmatic trace of argumentative participants to further explore interactive principles, argumentative strategies and persuasive effects of rhetorical generation mechanism of International Court of Arbitration for Sports (ICAS) judicial language, which reflects paradoxical, independent and flexible institutional features of ICAS. Further, it has been discovered that there are sub-optimal settings both in trial discourse and arbitration text. Argumentative moves in sub-optimal settings are not into reasonable judgement of pragma-dialectical argumentation theory but it is still persuasive with operation of triangle of strategic maneuvering powered by the stimulus of strategic maneuvering.
