A theoretical justification of this method through a dialectical understanding of argument, a critical examination of Toulmin on warrants, and a thorough discussion of the linked-convergent distinction follows. Discussion includes consideration of alternative understandings of  argument structure and its representation presented in Wigmore’s chart method, Pollock’s inference graphs, and the pragma-dialectical approach to argumentation. An account of the proper reconstruction of enthymemes and issues at the border of structural analysis versus evaluation of arguments conclude the book UR - http://148.231.10.114:2048/login?url=http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-94-007-0357-5 ER -
