Toulmin Argument

The twentieth-century British philosopher Stephen Toulmin noticed that good, realistic arguments typically will consist of six parts. He used these terms to describe the items.
Data- the facts or evidence used to prove the argument.
Claim- the student being argued (a thesis)
Warrants- the general, hypothesized (and often implicit) logical statements that serve as bridges between the claim and the data.
Qualifiers- statements that limit the strength of the argument or statement that propose the conditions under while the argument is true.
Rebuttals- counter arguments or statements indicating circumstances when the general argument does not hold true.
