While the 1st edition of ECA was devo ted to exploring the relationship between argument ation and the decisions that follow from it, the 2 017 Fribourg edition will focus on the cognitive p rocesses involved in argumentation, with a clear f ocus on what happens ‘upstream’ in the argumentati ve chain, both in production and reception.

The field of argumentation has been expanding over the last decade with a clear opening towards cognitive psychology (and cognitiv e science more generally) and the processes it acc ounts for. With the development of cognitive scien ce as an encompassing framework within which both psychological and social aspects of human behaviou r can be accounted for, we believe that the time i s ripe to ground a discussion in the community of argumentation studies around the notion of inferen ce, along its formal, social and cognitive dimensi ons. The overarching questions the conference them e will be concerned with are therefore the followi ng: How does the study of argumentation connect wi th the notion of inference and how, as a disciplin e, does it connect with the disciplines involved i n the study of the cognitive features of inference ?

To fost er this discussion, the conference accordingly see ks to attract scholars in argumentation coming fro m a range of different traditions, including (but not limited to) philosophy, psychology, linguistic s, informal logic, speech communication, pragma-di alectics, epistemic approaches, rhetoric, dialecti cs, logic, and computational approaches.

In addition to welcoming submissions linked to argumentation studies in general, each ECA edition has a special theme. While the 1st edi tion of ECA was devoted to exploring the relations hip between argumentation and the decisions that f ollow from it, the 2017 Fribourg edition will focu s on the cognitive processes involved in argumenta tion, with a clear focus on what happens ‘upstream ’ in the argumentative chain, both in production a nd reception. The 2nd edition of ECA will thus foc us on inference as one of the key features of the argumentative process. The abstra ct submission deadline is 1st of October 2016.
