Claim Data Warrant – the secret to winning all of your arguments.

Stephen E. Toulmin  philosopher and rhetorical theorist  born in England in 1922  received his Bachelor’s degree at King’s College and his Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from Cambridge

More on Toulmin  Toulmin taught at the University of Southern California from  In 1958, Toulmin offered his model of argumentation: a way to compare “truths”

Claim Toulmin’s Model  Toulmin Model has three main parts: Data Warrant

Toulmin Model, cont.  Simply: A Claim is made. Data is provided in the form of supporting facts. The Warrant connects the Data to the Claim.

Example #1  “I am an American.” (Claim)  “My mother was an American citizen when I was born.” (Data)  Anyone born of an American citizen is a legal American citizen. (Warrant)  Toulmin says that the Claim and the Data cannot hold without a sufficiently strong Warrant, or, the weakest argument is the one with the weakest warrant.

Example #2  The U.S. Postal service is wasteful and inefficient. The proposed new mail distribution agency will be wasteful and inefficient. Claim: The proposed new mail distribution agency will be wasteful and inefficient. Data: The U.S. Postal service is wasteful and inefficient. Warrant: the two situations are similar (Reasoning by analogy)

Let's try one together  This is the coldest winter since My heating bills are going to be outrageous. Claim: Data: Warrant:

And another one together  I work hard in class, do my homework every night and study for tests. I am going to ace my debate class! Claim: Data: Warrant:

Types of Claims  fact : claims that have historical backing  judgment/value : claims involving opinions and attitudes  policy : claims advocating courses of action that should be undertaken

Types of Data Fact or Statistic: a point of data that claims some objective Expert Testimony: a stated opinion by a person experienced in the field Personal Anecdote: personal experience gained from time in the related field

Connecting the Claim and Data  underline a claim, warrant (if it states one) and data in the article  create a diagram of the claim, warrant, and data that looks like the example below Claim: Data: Smoking is bad It causes lung cancer Warrant: Lung cancer is bad.
