Abstract: Discourse analysis primarily focuses on common ground, while argumentation only has a secondary role. In the talk, I will argue that discourse analysis prioritizes commonalities as crucial for shared knowledge construction and applied discourse analysis. An analysis of discourse on COVID-19 will illustrate common ground emergence, treating it as a network of presuppositions. Results from the COVIDisc project reveal shared knowledge dynamics in rapidly changing scenarios. The talk further addresses the claimed universality of argumentation (Toulmin 2003), and the relation and conceptualization of the basic concepts of argumentation and contradiction solving. Applying Gabriel’s (2016) concept of “Sinnfelder” enables to rethink the relativity of argumentation and contradiction across diverse contexts. Considering discourses as elements of situations, this approach allows for transdisciplinary research understanding and raises questions about argumentation's status, particularly in terms of applied sciences.
