57 views3 pages

Document Summary

Standardizing rules: read the passage carefully several times, making sure that you understand it, confirm that the passage you are dealing with actually contains an argument. In a context in which one person argues against another, his conclusion will be the denial of the other person"s position. His premises will state his reasons for denying that position: omit any material that serves purely as side comments, background information, or the setting of the context for the argument, omit material that you have already included. In other circumstances, do not repeat the statement: omit such personal phrases as it disgusts me to see that, i am concerned that, i have long thought, in my humble opinion, and so on. Premises and conclusions should not include pronouns such as they, my, it, that, and this. Premises and conclusions should be in the form of statements not questions, commands, or exclamations: check that no premise or conclusion itself expresses an argument.
