  Abstract:  Polemics – a particular form of conflicting communication. Our aim is to describe polemics as a particular form of conflicting interaction that has an intellectual stake. We show that its actors disagree on a certain question that they envisage in two irreconcilable manners. We deal with the various pragmatic and rhetorical aspects of polemics such as: its dialogical character; the nature of the disagreement that opposes its protagonists, that may concern a content, a lexical choice, the enunciation act or a behaviour of the adversary; the interpersonal relationship that the opponents build in the interaction; the role that argumentation takes in polemics. We finally show that polemics is a dynamic phenomenon that has a beginning, a course and an end and that it may move towards other objects or even degenerate as a result of the radicalisation of the conflict.

Keywords: polemics, disagreement, dialogical polyphony, argumentative interaction
