The practice of argumentation has traditionally been studied, by and large, as a verbal activity, with the linguistic manifestation of the arguments we use in our communicative exchanges as the primary object of study. We indeed routinely process, represent, assess, use, study, and talk about arguments as linguistic objects. While trivial, this observation carries a host of implications for the study of argumentation. It has notably determined diferent directions of research at the interface of language and argumentation that have investigated the way in which argumentative practices interact with linguistic systems. This chapter discusses these and evokes related disciplinary debates in view of exploring the language and argumentation interface as it has been investigated in argumentation scholarship.
