Auditory Arguments: The Logic of 'Sound' ArgumentsDOI: https://doi.org/10.22329/il.v38i3.4954 Abstract: Abstract This article discusses “auditory” arguments: arguments in which non-verbal sounds play a central role. It provides examples and explores the use of sounds in argument and argumentation. It argues that auditory arguments are not reducible to verbal arguments but have a similar structure and can be evaluated by extending standard informal logic accounts of good argument. I conclude that an understanding of auditory elements of argument can usefully expand the scope of informal logic and argumentation theory
