Velayeti Nurfitriana Ansas, Syihabuddin Syihabuddin, Fadhilah Yulia Rahmah

Abstract


This research aims to describe the argumentation patterns in Korean language essays. Besides examining these patterns, it also explores the linguistic features present in these essays. The study is intended to assist students, especially language learners, in effectively express their arguments through essay writing. The research employs Stephen Toulmin's theory of Argument Patterns (TAP) and Emi Emilia's theory on linguistic features in essays. A qualitative descriptive method involving documentation study techniques and note-taking analysis was utilized. The results revealed 36 instances of argument patterns and 194 instances of linguistic features out of 237 data points. Eight different argument patterns were identified, ranging from basic to complex structures, along with ten distinct linguistic features in the 2019 INAKOS Korean language essays. The findings indicate that the majority of the argument patterns align with Toulmin's archetypal structure. This underscores the importance of understanding argumentation in writing to enhance the diversity and effectiveness of presented arguments.
