Toulmin’s Model and Analogies Data is the support
of an argument, and the warrant is the reasoning that leads to the claim.
Analogies are used in the reasoning step, as warrants.

Correct Usage of Reasoning by Analogy Bob has a car (he also has aqua colored
hair).

(cont.) His twin brother Joe has a car that is the
same model and year. It is reasonable to assume, in this situation
that both cars are worth about the same amount of money.

Incorrect Usage of Reasoning by Analogy Since both brothers’ cars are the same
model and year, it is reasonable to assume they are also the same color.
Right?

Positives Reasoning by analogy is effective when
used correctly, because it makes sense to most people that when two situations are similar, the outcomes should also be similar.

For Example… Product X uses a testimonial
advertisement. Julia says, “When I used Product X, it made my acne go away.” Therefore, because Product X worked for Julia, it should also work for Janie, her sister, who has similar skin problems.

Negatives Analogies often fall flat because in order
for them to work, the two cases involved must be similar in all major respects. Minor differences might not affect the final conclusion. However, there are too many variables to be accounted for that might possibly effect the outcome.

For Example… Janie buys Product X on her sister’s
suggestion. However, Product X only makes her acne worse because she has more sensitive skin.

Quiz…Over TWO Powerpoints Analogies are used in the _______ part of
the Toulmin model. What is the difference between figurative
and literal analogies? In order for analogies to work, the two
cases involved must be (similar/different) in all major respects.

Conclusion Analogies can be a persuasive technique in
argumentation and debate, but it is best to make sure that the analogies are valid and foolproof.
