evidence for regarding irrelevant argumentation fallacious (i.e., an
unreasonable argumentative move) in this communicative activity type and
illustrate how stategic maneuvering derails and leads to this fallacy. The
paper draws its data from two episodes of <i>Siyaset
Meydanı </i>. The analysis of extracts from the data revealed that both the
moderator and the participants of the debate show sensitivity to arguing
relevantly. Furthermore, it was observed that participans’ maneuvering with the
topical potential can be an effective argumentative move but not always
reasonable. </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Mersin Üniversitesi}
