【摘要】 从“视觉论辩”(visual argumentation)到“多模态论辩”(multimodal argumentation),论辩学研究经历了近三十年的发展历程。从“视觉论辩”的合法性争辩到多元化理论和分析模式构建，“多模态论辩”研究取得了丰硕的研究成果。在这一过程中，研究者打破语言中心主义，不断拓展论辩学的边界，将视觉、听觉等非语言符号系统纳入论辩分析范畴，丰富了论辩学的理论内涵。基于科学引文检索(Web of Science)及谷歌学术搜索(Google Scholar)等权威数据库对国际前沿文献的系统考察，本文梳理出“多模态论辩”领域的三大核心议题：1)论辩的本质和非语言论辩的合法性，2)“多模态论辩”的理解与重构，3)多模态协同论证机制与语类规约；同时识别出五大主导性研究路径：非形式逻辑路径、语用论辩路径、修辞论辩路径、实践论辩路径、多维整合路径。这种跨学科的理论融合为解析现实传播情境中的复杂论辩现象提供了更具解释力的分析框架。展望未来，该领域在理论层面亟待深化与多模态社会符号学、多模态话语分析等前沿理论的对话；在方法论层面，智能化分析技术与实证研究范式的结合将成为重要趋势，特别是社交媒体语境下“多模态论辩”与受众认知的互动机制亟待深入探究。“多模态论辩”研究不仅在学术层面具有创新价值，更对提升公众的多模态说服能力、培养批判性思维具有重要的实践意义。更多还原

【Abstract】 Over the past three decades, argumentation studies have witnessed a notable evolution from early work on visual argumentation in the mid-1990s to the broader field of multimodal argumentation, extending the research focus beyond verbal centrism to encompass visual, auditory, and other non-verbal modalities. Based on a systematic review of leading international literature from Web of Science and Google Scholar, this paper reviews three core areas of inquiry: 1) the essence of argumentation and the legitimacy of non-verbal argumentation, 2) the interpretation and reconstruction of multimodal arguments, and 3) the mechanisms of multimodal coordination and the role of genre conventions. Five predominant research paradigms are then identified, namely informal logic, pragma-dialectics, rhetorical argumentation, practical argumentation, and integrative approaches. Such interdisciplinary synthesis yields robust analytical frameworks, enabling effective explanations of complex argumentation in real-world communication. Looking forward, research should foster stronger theoretical connections with frontier fields such as multimodal social semiotics and multimodal discourse analysis. Methodologically, empirical research and advanced computational analysis represent promising trends, particularly regarding the interactive mechanisms between multimodal argumentation and audience cognition in digital contexts. Thus, multimodal argumentation studies hold substantial innovative value, offering practical implications for enhancing the public’s persuasive abilities and fostering critical thinking.更多还原
