topoi theory. Without explaining the point, I told you that the enunciators
are argumentative entities and that their points of view are argumentatively
oriented. My analysis of but is an example. E1’s point of view consists sim-
ply in summoning a topos under a certain form about a given situation, and
similarly, E3’s point of view. As for E2 and E4, they draw the conclusions,
and it so happens that their conclusions disagree. That is what I wanted to
say. I am afraid I have been rather too long but next time, to allow for a dis-
cussion, I will try to stop before the time of doom.
