TOULMIN’S MODEL

 

 

CLAIM ¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾® DATA (GROUNDS)

 

­

WARRANT

 

CLAIM - is a statement that the arguer wants his/her audience to accept

 

DATA - it is additional information provided to the audience to support the claim

 

WARRANT - it is an assumption or logical relationship which connects the claim to the

data.

 

Example:

 

 

It is morally wrong to use animals for medical experiments.   ¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾®   ¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾® Animals are sentient beings and they suffer as a result of experiments.
  CLAIM     DATA (GROUNDS)

­

½

 

It is morally wrong to cause suffering.
  WARRANT  

 

Example:

 

It is justified to use animals for medical experiments.   ¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾®   ¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾® Using animals for medical experiments saves human lives.
  CLAIM     DATA (GROUNDS)

­

½

 

Whatever saves human life is justified
  WARRANT  

TYPES OF ARGUMENTS

 

I Argument by example: The debater offers evidence of what is known and proven as a fact. He/ she presumes that the same conclusion can be drawn about the unknown or made into a general truth.

 

Example:

 

The Netherlands have introduced marihuana and the crime rate has not increased (statistics)/ the number of hard drug addicts has decreased (statistics) therefore if we legalize marihuana somewhere else, the process will be the same.

 

Important!

 

· Are there enough examples to prove the claim? Too often, debaters will reason simply from anecdotal evidence.

 

· Are there examples that might directly counter the given examples?

 

· Are the examples typical of the category the speaker wants to generalize about? It is important to have a representative sample if you wish to reason from example.

 

 

II Argument by analogy: The debater knows that A is true (justified, desirable). The thing she/he would like to make a claim about (B) is similar to A. Therefore he/she concludes that B is also true (justified, desirable)

 

Example:

 

Alcohol is legal. Marihuana is like alcohol in a lot of ways. Marihuana should be legalized.
