Özet: Compared to the artificial language of mathematics, the language in use is often ambiguous and usually not amenable to objective interpretations. Interpretative methods are still able to produce rich linguistic evaluations, though. Yet, the loose structure of those methods can be challenging, especially for junior researchers. The argumentation theory of new rhetoric can fill this gap as a structured method of systematically dissecting arguments to generate new theoretical propositions from textual data. Arguing is practical reasoning to produce conclusions by using logically or empirically imperfect justifications. It is a way of employing rationality when formal logic and self-evident demonstrations are not applicable. Argumentation analysis can systematically capture personal views within arguments and the reasoning processes that led to those views. Accordingly, this study proposes five steps for argumentation analysis. These five steps guide researchers to identify critical arguments, analyse their structure, establish intentions behind arguments and produce hypotheses accordingly. The proposed method aims to facilitate inquiries into verbal interactions in organisations.
