Identifying and Evaluating Argument
Identifying and Evaluating argument lets us examine author’s line of reasoning. In every argument, there are two parts. They are reasons and conclusion. A reason is statement that supports conclusion. The word clues for reason are first of all, as shown by, because, etc. Similarly, conclusion is judgment or decision obtained after evaluation. The word clues for conclusion are consequently, therefore, hence, so, then, etc.
The two types of argument are deductive argument and inductive argument. Deductive argument is based on premises whereas inductive argument is based on observation. It is very essential for us to evaluate argument because it helps to understand author’s ideas more clearly.
