One of most the fundamental things we use language for is
argument. Arguing means claiming that something is true and trying
to persuade other people to agree with your claim by presenting
evidence to substantiate it. An argument is statement with three
components:
• A point of view, a claim, something we are arguing in favour of
• The actual argument, the evidence we are using to argue with
• A statement that links the initial claim to the argument and ensures
that we understand how the argument functions.

The statement that connects the initial claim and the argument is
referred to as the warrant. The warrant is thus an argument for the
connection between the initial claim and the argument.
