Argumentum ad morti в дискурсе насилия: семантика и прагматика «радикальной» аргументации
The argument to death - a specific type of argument, either explicitly or implicitly appealing to the limit of human existence, the essence of a rhetorical device used to increase the degree of credibility of requests, wishes, etc., or to block the possibility of communication. The illocutionary power of this figure is a measure defined on the scale of its resources: from inductive generalization and deductions to the summing up to the limit of this generalization, to the threat of exit for the existential border discourse, loss of existential status of the subject to physical the implementation of the threat, making communication is not significant, and its subject matter or even the opponent himself non-existent. This style of argumentation is peculiar to "pre-logical" communities, with the undeveloped and unclaimed logical culture of social communication, which is characterized by an appeal not to the law, but to the force, and rather not for freedom, but for arbitrariness.
