Explanation:

THE ESSENTIALS OF ARGUMENT

Argument: Argument concerns itself with neither fact nor taste, but with that vast

middle territory of statements that are more or less probable. ... An

arguable statement can evoke degrees of adherence, and its grounds of

support do not depend on the individual who holds them. ... [E]ven the

side that wins [an] argument has not established a truth, only a probable

wisdom of a particular choice.

Every argument has four essential elements:

1. A thesis statement, a claim, a proposition to be supported, which deals with

a matter of probability, not a fact or a matter of opinion.

2. An audience to be convinced of the thesis statement.

3. Exigence: the need to make an argument at a certain time, in a

circumstance, or for a purpose.

4. Grounds, reasons, or, as they are sometimes formally called, premises that

support the thesis.

Thesis Statement: Every argument, no matter how complicated, has a single,

overriding thesis. That thesis may be qualified, elaborated, complicated, or hedged all

around, yet the arguer must always be able to answer the "What is your point?"... [A]ll

arguments can be summed upon a single statement that the whole discourse is

designed to support… Whether the unit of argument is a paragraph or a book, that

basic element, the thesis statement, must be discoverable.

Audience: An argument needs a human audience to convince. … The particular

audience of an argument influences how you argue--coolly or with passion, tentatively

or with strong conviction, elliptically or in great detail. … Thus, different audiences

require significant differences in the support, organization, and working of your

argument.

Exigence: In order for a real argument to occur there must be some forum and

occasion, like a town meeting, some push in the time and circumstances and some

purpose for making claims and supporting them. The combination of all these factors

has been called the exigence. ... To compensate for [the often] inherent disconnection

from its audience, a written argument must frequently create its own exigence.

Support: also called premise(s). Support is the reason(s) for an audience to be

convinced of the thesis statement. You should follow the thesis with at least one

reason or "because" statement. You may make much longer arguments by introducing

more supporting statements for the thesis or by supporting the supporting statements

themselves, but at least one premise, one statement that gives the audience a reason

to adhere to the thesis, is necessary.

An unspoken premise is called an "assumption." Assumptions are common

ground, shared preconceptions and beliefs of arguer and audiences.
