Abstract

In every domain of argumentative reality various communicative activity types can be distinguished that constitute different kinds of macro-contexts for conducting argumentative discourse. These communicative activity types can be characterized argumentatively by describing the specific conventionalization that is instrumental to realizing their institutional point. Starting from the argumentative characterization, the institutional preconditions can be determined that constitute extrinsic constraints imposed on the strategic manoeuvring that takes place in a communicative activity type. These institutional preconditions also play a role in the implementation of the general soundness criteria for the various argumentative moves in a specific (cluster of) communicative activity type(s). The chapter concludes with an overview of research concerning the influence of the institutional preconditions on the strategic manoeuvring in communicative activity types from various domains.
