Analyzing & Reporting Research
2
The Basic Framework Introduce source and author. Who is author and why should we hear what he/she says? Succinctly summarize the source. Identify the main claim. Point out reasons. Note how evidence supports reasons. Recognize warrants/assumptions of author. Characterize tone of source if this is important.
3
How to Introduce the Source Deborah Tannen, professor of linguistics at Georgetown University, discusses “agonism” in public argument in her article “We Need Higher Quality Outrage.”
4
Succinctly Summarized According to Tannen, “agonism,” which she defines as “ritualized opposition, a knee-jerk, automatic use of war-like forms,” has taken center stage in public argument. She suggests that the public no longer hears “genuine opposition” in debates over important issues because most people seem to prefer a “riveting fight.” Her article further concludes that negative attacks and name calling often replace healthy oppositional discussions(23).
5
Tone: Attitude of Writer Toward Subject Writer’s tone will tell you something about his/her position on subject. Your job is to appear neutral in your discussion of sources.
6

Identify the main claim. Point out reasons. Note how evidence supports reasons. Recognize warrants/assumptions of author. Characterize tone of source if this is important
