TY - JOUR TI - Attack, defense and counter-attack in the inuit duel songs of Ammassalik AU - Plantin, Christian LA - en T2 - Argumentation : An International Journal on Reasoning PY - 2020 AB - This study is based on a corpus of duel songs from the traditional Ammassalik culture (Southeastern Greenland), published by the anthropologists P.-É. Victor and J. Robert-Lamblin. In this culture, the duel is a moment in the development of a quarrel, originating in a conflictual event; one of the partners challenges the other to a song duel. Our study focuses upon the basic argumentative strategies of defense and counter attack used to reject the accusation. The charges range from what may seem to us the most serious ones, to apparently the most frivolous. The defensive strategies range from serious replies to mere jokes, making fun of the opponent. Formally, the reproached action can be denied, or acknowledged and rejected on other grounds. The defendant often just counter-attacks, either by disqualifying the accuser, or by reversing the charge. The data shows that the duel song is not essentially a “court of assize”. Beyond its cathartic function, the duel is show given by the participants to a participating audience.
