Argument forms
Premise/conclusion-pairs
Are especially useful as summaries of arguments that have more structure
Do not show the ‘support path’ that leads from the premises to the conclusion
Sequences of sentences
Give by their linear ordering an idea of the dynamics of argumentation
Do not show the reason/conclusion relations (e.g., the arguments premises and conclusions remain implicit)
Reason/conclusion-structures
Contain explicit information about the reason/conclusion relations
Abstract from the dynamics of argumentation
