Argumentation schemes
by Douglas N. Walton. Very useful for those engaged in computational applications that use forms of argument that capture stereotypical patterns of human reasoning, this systematic analysis includes a compendium of 96 schemes. The authors begin by describing basic tools in understanding how and why argumentation schemes work, then address schemes for argument from analogy, classification and precedent; knowledge-based, practical and related schemes; arguments from generally accepted opinions, commitment and character; casual argumentation schemes; schemes and enthymemes; attack, rebuttal and refutation; refinement of the classification of schemes; formalizing schemes; and, specifically, schemes for computer systems.
