Sommario
To illustrate a research strategy aiming at the discovery of recurrent contextually significant patterns in dialogic argumentative activity types, we investigate closed-list questions as a minimal argumentative pattern and as component of broader dialogical argumentative patterns, in the Q&A phase of Earnings Conference Calls, a key financial communication activity type. The argumentative affordances of closed-list questions are discussed as well as their formalisation in the metalanguage of Inference Anchoring Theory. A small corpus study provides verification of the hypothesized occurrence of activity-relevant uses of closed list questions for issue framing and for information elicitation as well as of the question’s potential in eliciting argumentative responses.
