Document Summary
A simple argument has a single conclusion supported by one or more premises: P1: you charged me for cable service that i didn"t use. Mc: your company needs to credit me . 00. If we question the premise of this argument. An extended argument has at least one premise that is supported by another premise, making the first premise function as both a premise and a conclusion. P1: the cable box i rent from you was broken, leaving me without cable for 5 days. C1: you charged me for cable service that i didn"t use. Sub arguments support the premises that support the argument"s main conclusion. The sub-conclusion has a dual role - it"s a premise for the main conclusion and a conclusion for a premise. When arguments don"t have logical indicators, we have to figure the argument structure out for ourselves.
