Summary/Abstract: Fundamental Categories of Argumentation Theory: Sorin Stati’s Approach. The following contribution consists of a panorama of several fundamental concepts with regard to argumentation theory, which were elaborated by the linguist Sorin Stati. This synthesis is based on the scholar’s last monograph and on two of his, as yet unpublished, manuscripts. Here, the theme of the relationship amongst argumentation, rhetoric, logic, and pragmatics; that of the form of argumentation in relation to its content; and the themes of modality and topoi in the argumentative texts are confronted at an introductory level.
