Stephen Toulmin developed a theory of argumentation and this is described in the Toulmin Project Home Page with further explanation on assumptions, counter arguments and implications on another website. Pragma-Dialectical Theory is another argumentation theory. The ideal model stipulates ten rules in writing an argumentative discussion. Violations of these rules frustrate the reasonable resolution of the difference of opinion and they are therefore considered as fallacies.
