Objective: Review a scholarly journal article on your research topic and take research notes that examine rhetorical elements used in the article to construct an argument. Use your research notes and understanding of Toulmin argument schema to construct a thesis-based analysis of the central argument in the article.
An Argument Analysis asks you to examine an academic argument and evaluate the strength of the argument based on Toulmin’s argument analysis schema. You will be asked to consider several elements of argument including author credibility, audience appeals, and supporting evidence.
Planning your Argument Analysis
To prepare for the argument analysis, you will first need to select and review an academic journal article on your chosen research topic. Here are some guidelines:
The article should be published in a peer-reviewed scholarly journal (do not use articles from Opposing Viewpoints or CQ Researcher for this assignment).
The article should be argumentative in nature. The article may include a research study, but the conclusions should present the reader with an argument.
The article should not be less than ten pages in length.
You can begin by using the handout “Toulmin Analysis of an Academic Argument” in Module 4. Respond to the questions on the handout in as much detail as possible (this handout is not a graded assignment, but is a very helpful pre-writing tool).
In addition, review Readings on Toulmin Analysis and Logical Fallacies in Module 04.
Drafting the Argument Analysis
Content and Organization
The following will give you a good sense of the content and organization expected in an argument analysis.
Introduction – The introduction of your argument analysis should include a brief introduction to your guiding research question as well as a summary of the scholarly journal article you are analyzing in this paper. Include in your summary the name of the author, the article title, the name of the journal in which it was published, and a brief summary of the major themes discussed in the article. In this introduction, you should paraphrase what you believe to be the author’s main argument (claim). The introduction must also include a thesis statement explaining your overall evaluation of the author’s argument based on the strength of its “claim,” “data” and “warrants” (based on the Toulmin Model) and other major rhetorical and persuasive features of the article.
Body – The body of your argument analysis should examine the following argumentative and rhetorical elements, relative to the aims of your thesis statement. You will also need to decide how to best arrange or organize the body of your analysis in order to most effectively deliver the claims you make about the article.
Toulmin Scheme: Using Toulmin’s argument model, highlight and analyze the author’s central “claim,” “data” used to support the claim, and “warrants.” This includes discussing “backing,” “rebuttals,” and ”qualifiers” where appropriate. End by explaining whether this argument is sound based on Toulmin’s analysis.
Audience and Purpose: Explain the author’s intended purpose for making this argument, and who the author’s intended audience is. Explain the intended audience’s values and prior knowledge on the subject. Use examples from the article to illustrate your points. See reading 3.2 Rhetorical Context in Module 03 for guidance.
Audience Appeals: Analyze the author’s use of rhetorical appeals. How does the author appeal to the audiences’ sense of emotion and sense of reason? How does the author establish their ethical persona and credibility? Analyze the author’s use of language and genre. Use examples from the article to illustrate your points. See reading 3.3 Evaluating Appeals to Ethos, Logos, and Pathos in Module 03 for guidance.
Logical Fallacies: Address any argumentative and/or rhetorical fallacies present in this article and/or any possible holes or gaps in the argument that the author fails to consider. You may also examine weaknesses or limitations you find in out the writer(s) conducted their scholarly research. See reading 3.7 Formal and Informal Fallacies in Module 4 for guidance.
Conclusion – Close your analysis by expanding on how this article has helped to inform or shape your understanding of your research question and reiterating your analysis of the argument’s overall strength (or weakness).
Citation and Documentation – Formally document your sources in either MLA or APA style (as indicated by your instructor). This list should at least contain the peer-reviewed scholarly journal article you analyzed as well as any other sources you used. All sources used should be cited in-text based on either MLA or APA style (as indicated by your instructor).
