The results show how hashtag activism has worked as a means\u0000 of knowledge dissemination and action, and that also slacktivism has contributed to the cause, thanks to the “oxygen of\u0000 amplification” effect, which made users inform and get informed, refocus the campaign towards its original purpose when it digressed,\u0000 and distribute its message.","PeriodicalId":51676,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language and Politics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47368137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, current analytical tools fall short of accounting for the multifarious ways in which narratives perform as\u0000 arguments. This paper adopts the notion narrative argument, developed in argumentation theory, to examine the ways the\u0000 ‘hero-protector’ narrative serves as argument. The paper analyzes four speeches given by Donald Trump and Joe Biden, whereby the\u0000 use of force on foreign grounds is justified via the ‘hero-protector’ narrative. The analytical framework combines the\u0000 argumentation strategies of the Discourse-Historical Approach (DHA) with pragma-dialectics’ argumentation schemes. The analysis\u0000 shows that each narrative sequence constituting the ‘hero-protector’ narrative constructs specific argument schemes, and the\u0000 logical connections between these sequences link arguments in chains to collectively justify the rightness of claims. The paper,\u0000 thus, seeks to illustrate the possibility of conceptualizing narrative discourse as an effective way to argue for or against a\u0000 claim.","PeriodicalId":51676,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language and Politics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45651128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
