The Argument Scheme-based Approach to Argument Structure

Authors: Yu, Shiyang;

The Argument Scheme-based Approach to Argument Structure

Abstract

Abstract: The concept of argument structure is pivotal in argumentation theory and is extensively employed to analyze and describe arguments. However, as indicated in a previous study (Yu & Zenker, 2022), extant strength-based and relevance-based approaches fall short in distinguishing linked and convergent structures. This paper aims to address this gap by proposing a new argument scheme-based approach and demonstrating its validity. After reviewing the presupposition and inconsistency problems of existing approaches, we analyze their origins in-depth, propose the argument scheme-based approach, demonstrate its validity, and discuss its advantages and challenges. Finally, we argue that our approach, rather than diminishing the concept of argument structure, restores it to its rightful theoretical position. Résumé: Le concept de structure argumentative est essentiel en théorie de l'argumentation et il est largement utilisé pour analyser et décrire les arguments. Cependant, comme indiqué dans une étude précédente (Yu & Zenker, 2022), les approches existantes basées sur la force et la pertinence ne parviennent pas à distinguer les structures liées et convergentes. Cet article vise à combler cette lacune en proposant une nouvelle approche basée sur les schémas argumentatifs et en démontrant sa validité. Après avoir examiné les problèmes de présupposition et d'incohérence des approches existantes, nous analysons leurs origines en profondeur, proposons l'approche basée sur les schémas argumentatifs, démontrons sa validité et discutons de ses avantages et de ses défis. Enfin, nous soutenons que notre approche, plutôt que de diminuer le concept de structure argumentative, lui redonne sa place théorique légitime.
