Toulmin's Argument Model

Toulmin's Argument Model is a framework for analyzing and constructing logical arguments. It breaks an argument into key parts: the claim (what you're trying to prove), the evidence or data supporting it, and the warrant (the underlying bridge connecting the data to the claim). It also considers backing (additional support), qualifiers (indicating strength or certainty), and rebuttals (acknowledging counterarguments). This structure helps clarify how reasons and evidence work together to support a conclusion, making arguments more transparent and easier to evaluate for strength and validity.
