Is a Contradiction Between Arguments Less Likely to be Noticed When They are Implicit? An Experimental Case Study
No full textThe paper investigates whether contradictory arguments are less likely to be noticed when they are expressed implicitly rather than explicitly. It builds on the fact that—in natural language productions—contradictions are often not logical but rather—lato sensu—pragmatic in nature. The study presents an experiment using ecological and slightly modified material. In a Facebook post, Italian journalist Selvaggia Lucarelli conveyed two contradictory arguments through implicatures, presuppositions and vague expressions. This text was presented to experimental subjects: half read the original version, while the other half read a version in which the implicit content had been made explicit. Their responses to specific questions indicate that the contradiction is more easily noticed when it occurs between explicit assertions rather than between arguments that must be at least partially inferred. A strong effect is observed in relation to age and education differences among the groups. These results may provide experimental insight into the conditions under which argumentation flawed by contradictions may still achieve its intended effect, as if the contradiction were not present

No full textZeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), a subclass of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), combine high porosity and chemical tunability with a resistance to harsh conditions. Understanding their response to extreme pressure and heat is critical for application development due to the conditions under which they may be required to work or for predicting their response to any processing before use. In this study, we characterize long- and short-range order in ZIF-8 and ZIF-62 under compression using Bragg X-ray diffraction and pair distribution function (PDF) analysis for a large pressure range (up to ∼5 GPa) previously attempted in very few works. X-ray absorption fine structure analysis was carried out under high-pressure-temperature conditions to probe the medium-range order, a novelty in MOFs. ZIF-8 demonstrated a crystalline–crystalline phase transition above 0.36 GPa but no full amorphization. In ZIF-62, pore intrusion of the silicone oil pressure-transmitting medium (PTM) was observed through negative compressibility and by retention of its open-pore configuration. Full amorphization was achieved, with heating lowering the amorphization threshold. Finally, a unique distortion in both MOFs was suggested by the spectroscopic data. These results provide insight into the thermomechanical stability of crystalline ZIFs and the mechanism underlying their amorphization
