Features of Argumentation The logic of everyday argumentation should be based
upon common data or information that is accepted by everyone. A warrant need to
be used in order to relate the evidence that is presented in an argument to the
claim that is being made. When creating an argument, one usually uses grounds
that are well known by their peers of the same field of study. In this way, most
arguments are specific to a certain area of study; however, information that is
considered common knowledge is easily warranted in other fields of study besides
philosophy. Once an argument is written, a very important warrant is
distinguishable. The language that is used in the argument can be interpreted as
grounds for the actual argument.
The style that is used represent how strongly
the author believes in the argument, and where their position is on the
conclusion of the claim as well as playing an enormous part in convincing the
reader to think further about the claim that is being presented. A claim is
presented that give a possible conclusion to an argument and then evidence is
presented that supports the claim. This is not enough for a, Complex academic
argument, the author also has to create warrants that link the evidence to the
claim being made. Often times a narrative can is used as a basic warrant. In
this method the author gives details and describes events and situations that
can establish a relationship between the grounds being made about the claim. A
Complex Academic Argument, is based on a claim and the grounds that are made to
support it. In previous papers I have used this technique in supporting my
argument. The mistake that I made in the past was that I always to a pro or con
position. A Complex Academic Argument, only gives the reader a single view on a
subject, not an overall decision of pro or con.
