Understanding
Argumentation
and Debate
Ms. Kimberly B.
Mapute, LPT
What is argumentation
and debate?
Debate
It is a formal type of
argumentation.

It is carried out by two opposing sides

and conducted according to certain well-
defined rules.
Argumentation
• It used in our everyday dealing
with one another.
• The argument, according to the
standard dictionary, is defined
as ‘ a disagreement or quarrel’.
• So, the argument is
characterized by discussions of
disagreements that do not have a
specific order and is a non-
contested event.

Elements of an
Argument
Conviction- is based on logic
or correct reasoning.
Persuasion- is the emotional
aspect of an argument.
Correct Proportion of Conviction and
Persuasion
1. Use more conviction if the audience is an intelligent and highly educated
group. The more a person progresses in education, the less is the appeal of
the emotion.
2. Use more conviction if the audience is favorably disposed toward the
question. If the audience is hostile, use more persuasion to gradually reduce
their hostility and condition them to listen to you without prejudice.
3. Use more persuasion if action is desired. An editorial utilizes more
persuasion because it seeks to move the readers to action. In a school
debate, little or no action is expected; hence, recourse should be more to
reason than emotion.
Fundamental Qualities of
A Good Debater
1. You should be able to analyze
your subject and determine
what it means and all its
possible implications.
An analysis of a proposition
involves:
a. A definition of terms
b. An explanation of what the
proposition means as a whole.
c. A discovery of those points
that must be established or
overthrown to win the debate.
Fundamental Qualities of A
Good Debater

case clearly.
Simplicity and clarity
of presentation are
extremely important.

4.You should think

mentally alert.

much on a ready-
made speech.
Fundamental Qualities of
A Good Debater

5.You should be a
good speaker. Touch
the hearts and minds
of your hearers.
 The Subject

1.The subject must be expressed

in a complete sentence and
should express a complete
thought. A debatable subject is
a proposition- a statement in
which something is affirmed or
denied.
The Subject
2. You should select a
subject which interests
you. Avoid subjects that
are worn-out,
practically unknown, or
out of ordinary reach.
The Subject
3.In wording the
proposition, choose
the exact words that
denote the meaning
of the proposition
that is meant to
convey.
The Subject
4.The proposition
should be so
worded that the
affirmative side
has the burden
of proof.
The Subject
5. The wording of the
proposition should give
neither side an advantage
over the other. A
difference in opinion must
be inherent in the
proposition.

colleges should abolish the

P2: Resolved: That all
colleges must abolish the
game of basketball.
Three important parts of debate

1.Claims
2.Warrant
3.Data
Three important parts of debate

1.Claims- It is the bottom-line conclusion

of the argument.
2.Warrant- The reasoning behind the claim.
3.Data- The facts used to support the
warrant.
Example:

“Team X will win the basketball

game against Team Y because Team
X has taller players than Team
Y.”
Example:

“The death penalty should be

abolished because innocent people
are killed.”
Conciliation
 Almost all arguments begin with
conciliation, which means getting the
goodwill of the audience, arousing their
interest, and conditioning them to believe
what is asserted.

 One of the strongest forms of conciliation

is to appeal to some emotion. By
establishing a common ground on which to
meet your audience, you will arouse and hold
the interests of your listeners. It is
important to begin with a striking statement
or a humorous anecdote related to the
subject of the debate.
