What is a Categorical Argument?

"A categorical argument is a type of argument that occurs when a given X belongs in category Y. There are two kinds of these categorical arguments: simple categorical argument where the writer and audience agrees on the meaning of the term Y and definitional argument where the meaning of the term Y is controversial."


What is a Definitional Argument?

"Definitional arguments are essays whereby you begin with your introduction of your theme, then for each body paragraph establish your points of view or reasonings, followed by detailing the evidence, proof, or facts that support your view or reasonings. This can be the thoughts of icons, matter in books, etc. Then you write a conclusion. Beware you own personal beliefs if you can't find support for them, or it becomes too flimsy and impact on the reader is lost."


What is a Causal Argument?

"These arguments examine the underlying cause for any particular situation or argument. A causal argument analyzes in depth what causes a trend, event, or phenomenon."
