Argumentation

Roles: arguer, opponent, claim, evidence, rebuttal, conclusion, audience

Structured discourse aimed at establishing or refuting a claim through evidence and reasoning. Often metaphorically structured as war (attacking positions, defending claims) but has its own internal logic of claims, warrants, and rebuttals. The frame highlights how knowledge is contested and negotiated rather than simply discovered.
