Argumentation in text
One of most the fundamental things we use language for is argument. Arguing means claiming that something is true and trying to persuade other people to agree with your claim by presenting evidence to substantiate it. An argument is statement with three components:
A point of view, a claim, something we are arguing in favour of
The actual argument, the evidence we are using to argue with
A statement that links the initial claim to the argument and ensures that we understand how the argument functions.
The statement that connects the initial claim and the argument is referred to as the warrant. The warrant is thus an argument for the connection between the initial claim and the argument.
