ABSTRACT
The argumentation put forward in favor of a particular point of view may have a structure that is to a greater or lesser extent complex. 1 Of course, the complexity of the argumentation structure depends not only on the complexity of the dispute the protagonist attempts to resolve, but also on how he thinks he should organize the defense of his standpoint. In principle, every single argumentative move serves to remove some form of doubt that the antagonist may have with regard to the standpoint. In the simplest case, a single argumentation, containing just one argument with, usually, one explicit and one unexpressed premise, will be deemed to suffice. In other cases, the protagonist may advance a combination of single argumentations.
