Abstract
Marcelo Dascal’s Theory Of Controversies is bundled with historical narratives, sometimes implicit, which emphasizes the role of dichotomist distinctions between Discussions and Disputes as an intermediate stepping-stone on the way to the ternary structure, which contains also Controversies. In the following paper, standard tools of the analytic trade, namely analysis of linguistic structure, are employed to propose a revised model of the dualist theory.
Parts of this paper were read in the workshop “Listening to controversies” in the 23rd World Congress Philosophy (Athens 2013), and in IASC conference (Lecce 2014). I thank all participants for their responses and comments. Special thanks are due to Marcelo Dascal, Giovanni Scarafile, Juliana de Albuquerque-Katz, Leah Gruenpeter-Gold, Kuti Shoham and Joseph Lehman, for comments on various drafts of this paper.

I consider the controversial attitude – or controversial essence – as attested by successful new discoveries and inventions, but not limited only to successful undertaking. For the sake of the theoretical discussion, I assume that the efforts of the ‘second party’ are indeed successful.
