Schumann, Jennifer; Zufferey, Sandrine; Oswald, Steve (25 June 2019). Empirical evidence for the role of information structure (and connectives) on the acceptability of straw man fallacies (Unpublished). In: 3rd European Conference on Argumentation. University of Groningen. 24.06.2019-27.06.219.
This paper investigates the role of French causal connectives that convey an attributive meaning for the acceptability of straw man fallacies. In three experiments, we assess the roles of: (1) linking the arguments with a connective vs. simply juxtaposing them; (2) using one causal connective over another (namely puisque vs. comme); (3) inserting the connective in sentence-initial or sentence-medial position. Our results indicate that using both attributive connectives decreases the acceptability of straw man fallacies.
