最近，一些对传统态度研究方法的批评者强调有必要研究人们在自然话语中表达观点的方式。本研究通过提供详细的案例研究来探讨持有强烈观点的修辞方面。它的重点是一个家庭讨论英国王室的话语，其中一位家庭成员被认为持有强烈的观点。强调了话语中的许多修辞复杂性，并特别关注持有强烈观点的论证维度。这表明，对反对意见持有强烈的观点，并且在争论君主制问题时，参与者也会条件反射地争论论点。举例说明，强观点的持有者与弱观点的持有者相比，并不一定对多重主体性假设有更大的反对，因为观点话语矛盾地同时带有多重主体性和主体间性假设。研究还表明，持有强烈观点的人可能会产生多变的话语。讨论了这种可变性的修辞本质，并得出了对信仰研究和分析思维与争论之间关系的影响。
Recently a number of critics of traditional approaches to the study of attitudes have stressed the need to study the ways in which people express views in natural discourse. The present study examines the rhetorical aspects of holding strong views by providing a detailed case study. It focuses on the discourse of a family discussing the British Royal Family, where one member of the family is recognized to hold strong views. A number of rhetorical complexities of the discourse are highlighted and particular attention is placed on the argumentative dimensions of holding strong views. It is suggested that strong views are held in relation to opposing views and in arguing about the issue of monarchy participants are also reflexively arguing about arguments. Examples are given to show that the holder of strong views, as opposed to the holder of weak views, does not necessarily have a greater opposition to the assumption of multisubjectivity, for the discourse of views is paradoxically marked by both assumptions of multisubjectivity and intersubjectivity. It is also shown that the holder of strong views may produce a variable discourse. The rhetorical nature of such variability is discussed and implications are drawn for the study of beliefs and for analysing the relations between thinking and arguing.
