CONCEPT OF ARGUMENTATION DISCOURSE AND ITS SPECIFIC CHARACTER

Abstract

The article describes persuasive techniques and their combinability specific to certain type of discourse. A scientific theory being developed by speculative assumptions towards the study subject must follow evidence-based approach: it is considered to include claims based on true premises and a set of consistent assumptions as well as follow designated strategies and corresponding argumentation practices that altogether provide relevant interpretation of the theory. The methods characterized in the article are viewed to be classified according to the criteria whether they refer to inductive/deductive and objective/subjective type as well as to their persuasive power. Although argumentation process is considered to be quite variable in its nature, the existing persuasive techniques and verification methods represent the trustworthy toolkit to validate the consistency of theoretic assumptions.
