Argument structure Disciplines > Argument > Argument Structure Premise | Conclusion | Inference | See also Arguments are the basis of persuasive communication. They are combinations of statements made that are intended to change the minds of other people. All arguments have structure, which can be either deliberately designed or may be discovered through analysis. Premise A premise (or premiss) of an argument is something that is put forward as a truth, but which is not proven. It is hot in here. This is a beautiful car. The people of this town are angry. If you want to attack another person's argument, you can challenge the truth of their premises. As premises are the building blocks of the argument, there may well be two or more premises in any argument. Conclusion The conclusion (or claim) is the statement with which you want the other person to agree. We need to get out. You should buy this car. The new housing should be sited elsewhere. Inference If we don't do something, the peasants will revolt. See also

How can you use the AWL? You can try learning some words from the list every day, but it is better to study the words in context, so that you understand how they are used. Data was collected by the International Labour Office on hourly rates of pay in fifty different occupations, and on consumer prices for a sample of household items in about 100 countries. You can use the AWL Gapmaker to create tests for yourself. Background The AWL was created by Averil Coxhead in New Zealand. To create the AWL, Coxhead first of all made a corpus i.e. a computerised collection, of over 400 written academic texts, equalling about 3.5 million words in total. return to the top of the page
