Abstract

People always talk, discuss, argue, criticize or contradict each other. Have you ever thought of how do we do this? What language means do we use? What kind of elements do we use in verbal interaction? It is undoubtfully the use of arguments, part of a well-organized logic. Spontaneously people argue about different issues, trying to answer every question, trying to be persuasive in what we say. In the same way, we comment and express our opinion according to our point of view if something happens. This occurs naturally and no one stops to think how we argue and how many forms of argumentation exist. Different linguists and philosophers treated argumentation from ancient times up to now. We can mention Aristotle and his rhetoric, Perelman and Toulmin with The new Rhetoric or the Theory of Argumentation. Thanks to these studies, these theories are applied and used in Linguistic, Applicable Linguistic, and Text Linguistic. In this paper, we will have a look at different types of argumentation from theory to practice.
