The Logic of Policy Dispute.
Lichtman, Allan J.; Rohrer, Daniel M.
Journal of the American Forensic Association, v16 n4 p236-47 Spr 1980
Presents a theory of debate as a comparison of policy systems, a theory which satisfies the unique speech act requirements of discussing policy proposals. Describes the basic model and illustrates it by reference to the interpretation of "should" propositions and the analysis of burdens of proof. (JMF)
