In Danish rhetorical analysis, what does the 'backing' (styrkemarkør / rygdækning) do in Toulmin's model?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. It provides documentary authority, research evidence, or legal precedent supporting the warrant
- Step 1: Backing (rygdækning) provides foundational support, statutes, statistics, or accepted empirical authority establishing that the warrant itself is valid. Answer: It provides documentary authority, research evidence, or legal precedent supporting the warrant. Why not the others: Indicating degrees of certainty is the modal qualifier (styrkemarkør), introducing opposing views is rebuttal (gendrivelse), and repeating claims is rhetorical repetition.
