An Analysis of Moves and Argumentation Schemes in Korean Argumentative Texts: Focusing on University Students’ Writing

This study analyzes the use of Walton’s (2008) argumentation schemes across rhetorical moves in argumentative texts written by native speakers of Korean. A total of 150 texts were selected from the Writing Assessment Corpus 2023, consisting of the top 30 responses to five value-judgment prompts. Each text was segmented into moves, and the argumentation schemes used in each move were identified. The analysis revealed clear differences in the types and distributions of argumentation schemes across moves. In the introduction (Moves 1-2), “Argument from Popular Opinion,” “Argument from Example,” “Cognitive Schemes,” and “Argument from Values” were frequently employed. In the statement of position (Moves 3 and 7), “Cognitive Schemes,” “Argumentation from Ends and Means,” and “Argument from Values” were dominant. In the reasoning stage (Moves 4-6), “Argument from Consequences” appeared most frequently, while in the conclusion (Moves 8-9), “Argument from Consequences” and the “Slippery Slope Argument” were prevalent. These findings indicate that specific argumentation schemes are characteristically associated with particular moves in Korean argumentative texts. By systematically illustrating these patterns, this study provides foundational insights for teaching argumentative writing to L2 learners of Korean, particularly in guiding the use of argumentation schemes across rhetorical moves.
