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.

听觉论证：“声音”论证的逻辑

本文讨论“听觉”论点：非语言声音在其中发挥核心作用的论点。它提供了示例并探讨了声音在论证和论证中的使用。它认为听觉论证不能还原为口头论证，但具有相似的结构，并且可以通过扩展良好论证的标准非正式逻辑帐户来评估。我的结论是，对论证的听觉元素的理解可以有益地扩展非正式逻辑和论证理论的范围。
