Today’s class was a little difficult and I wanted to do some research on the concept that professor was lecturing. Toulmin, an English philosopher and logician, came up with a creative idea called Tolumin’s Argument Model. It not only helps writers’ to have better argument in writing but also benefits someone who wants to make a good visualization. He conveys his message about how a good argument should be analyzed by the model.
In the reference 1, it shows that a claim without a warrant is not a very supported claim. Warrant, as chain of reasons bridges between the data and claim and answers, “how did the argument get there” question.
Further in the reference 2, there is explanation about the argument model based on a hearing aid data. It clearly tells that qualifier is specification of data to claim and it measures the power of warrant. Rebuttal, in another word it means a condition of exception to the original claim and it strengthened by warrant. We should always have backing in our data to claim process to support the warrant.
Please have a look at reference 2 since it helps us to have better understanding about future project.
