For our purposes, arguments can be made either persuasively (i.e., to convince an audience of something) or rhetorically (i.e., to lay out a logical progression of ideas in support of a central stance) Argumentation (do not substitute argument, claim, stance, point of view): the presentation of a line (or lines) of reasoning (i.e., the way in which something is argued, not the line of reasoning itself) Assumption (do not substitute premise, conclusion): something taken for granted; a supposition Circumference (do not substitute polygon): the distance around a circle (See perimeter—these concepts are closely related) Claim (do not substitute stance, argument author’s purpose, author’s point of view, hypothesis, position, perspective): an assertion of something as fact Appendix D
