If yes, they are arguing by using someone else"s reasoning. May become actual arguments if speaker uses reports to defend their thesis (ex. Cited articles ) (cid:3247)thinking, believing, argues, contend, third person, etc (cid:3248) indicate reportive argument. Sam thinks he won"t get the job because he doesn"t have enough experience (reportive) Is reportive if person can contradict the argument/conclusion. Sam won"t get the job because he doesn"t have enough experience (actual argument) This tries to establish the truth of the statement. Someone cannot go against it, because u already established it. Tells us why something is the case, something we all know to be true. The car went in the ditch because the road was icy (explanation)
