| Abstract | Defining "information overload" as the condition that occurs when the amount of available information exceeds the ability of the user to process it, this paper contends that this condition has now affected the arena of academic debate. The first section of the paper examines the nature of overload and discusses its consequences on the processing of information and meaning. The second section introduces the idea of "generic argument," an adaptive behavior in debate that has resulted from the increased availability of information. Defining generic argument as any argument within a deliberative framework that recurs in fulfilling the discovery of issues, this section offers a rationale for its use as a means of coping with overload. The third section of the paper discusses a number of implications for the use of generic arguments. (FL) |
