    Study Notes

    Modes of Arguing

    • Arguments are built in various ways, going beyond just verbal arguments
    • There are four significant modes of arguing: verbal, visual, auditory, and emotional
    • The verbal mode uses words, either literally or metaphorically, in speech or writing
    • The visual mode utilizes non-verbal images (photographs, videos, diagrams, etc.)
    • The auditory mode relies on sounds (tones of voice, natural sounds, music, etc.)
    • The emotional mode involves expressions of emotion (facial expressions, gestures, etc.)
    • Arguers often combine these modes to create complex arguments

    Argument Flags

    • Nonverbal cues play a role in argumentation, similar to traffic rules
    • Verbal arguments may use non-verbal cues to structure, introduce, or express arguments
    • Argument flags (visual or nonverbal cues) are used to attract and maintain audience attention
    • These cues include auditory elements (e.g., voice tone, music), visual elements (images, videos, symbols), and emotional elements (facial expressions).

    Modes of Feeling

    • Emotions are central to human interaction
    • Arguments using emotion make premises appealing or offer conclusions based on relatable emotions
    • An emotional argument occurs when the argument is rooted in emotions.

    Intuitive Mode

    • Argument relies on gut feelings, hunches, dreams, or visions
    • Intuitive arguments are based on personal experience, beliefs, and feelings and are difficult to articulate/define
    • Intuitive arguments can be a part of real-world discussions and debates.

    Symbols and Metaphors

    • Nonverbal cues can act as symbols and metaphors, replacing words or referring to concepts
    • These symbols/metaphors depend upon context, culture, and individual references
    • Symbols are used to represent ideas, persons, or objects/situations in an argument,

    Complex Argument Example

    • Arguments often use multiple modes (visual, auditory, emotional, intuitive)
    • Arguments need clear premise and conclusion, to be well-reasoned
    • The effectiveness of arguments depends on how appropriate the premises are, and if they support the conclusion.
    • If the non-verbal elements have clear meaning, it can be an effective form of persuasion.
