Document Summary

Is someone trying to convince (of something) ii) Is someone trying to give reasons for a belief. We ought to build a bridge across the river, because doing that is the best way to solve the traffic problems. - because indicates that a premise is coming next (premise indicator). (gives a reason) We ought to build a bridge across the river. And we should limit the cars that go on it. And let"s fix the park while we are at it. - (statements) None of them are giving reasons for believing it them. They indicate a premise/conclusion is coming but they don"t have to be present in order for something to be an argument. Sum up reasons first -> conclusion at the end. Eg: my client is innocent -> because (this is still an argument) Textual priority: the order of a text/speech - how someone writes/says something.
