Abstract
There is no integrative description of scholarly argumentation, despite decades of analysis from fields including sociology of science, rhetoric of science, applied linguistics, computational linguistics, and knowledge representation. This work aims at such a description for biomedical research articles. It draws particularly on established analysis of rhetorical argumentation (metadiscourse; rhetorical moves; and canonical section structure) from applied and computational linguistics; previous analyses of citation from meta-scientific fields;
and my own past work modeling biomedical papers with students and (with Sally Jackson) analyzing innovation in the medical literature's methodological arguments. Overall, I describe how rhetorical argumentation; use of citations; and domain-specific elements such as articulation of research methods are combined to bolster arguments in empirical biomedical research articles.
