Argumentumában

Argumentumában is a term used in Hungarian rhetoric and linguistics to refer to the part of an argument that contains the claim or proposition that the author intends to defend. The word is formed from argumentum (Latin for argument) and the Hungarian suffix -ban/-ben indicating location, yielding "in the argument."

Usage and function: In scholarly descriptions, argumentumában marks the component of discourse in which supporting reasons, evidence, or conclusions are presented. It is not a named logical fallacy or a specific persuasive tactic, but rather a descriptive label for a segment of argumentative text or speech. Analysts may contrast argumentumában with other components such as the preface or the conclusion to map the structure of an argument.

In practice: Researchers might refer to "az érvelés argumentumában" or "az állítás argumentumában" to indicate that the subsequent content is the core claim being defended. The term is most often encountered in Hungarian-language studies of rhetoric, text linguistics, and discourse analysis, rather than in standard Hungarian grammar outside of analytic contexts.

Relation and alternatives: Related concepts include érvelés (argumentation), állítás (assertion/claim), konklúzió (conclusion), and other structural categories in speech. The Latin root argumentum appears in many languages, while Hungarian forms adapt with -ban/-ben.
