Érvelésben

Érvelésben is a Hungarian adessive form of the noun érvelés, meaning argumentation or the act of arguing. Érvelés denotes the process of presenting reasons, premises, or evidence to support a claim; érvelésben locates this process within a context or scope, translating roughly to “in the argument” or “in argumentation.” The form is used to refer to the realm, stage, or part of discourse that deals with reasoning and justification.

Grammatically, érvelés is a neuter noun, and the suffix -ben marks the inessive case, indicating location or involvement within the argument. This makes érvelésben suitable for signaling that a statement, analysis, or discussion occurs within the framework of argumentation rather than in a different discourse domain.

Usage and nuance: érvelésben is commonly found in formal, academic, or critical writing, as well as in debate or rhetorical analysis. It helps specify the scope of discussion, e.g., “Az érvelésben felhozott érvek nem elégségesek” (The arguments presented in the argumentation are not sufficient). It can also describe a stance or activity that takes place during reasoning, such as "érvelésben megfogalmazott álláspont" (a position formulated within the argument). The term underscores the logical and justificatory aspect of discourse, in contrast with mere narration or description.

Relation to related terms: érvelés is closely linked to logika és retorika, and the adessive form érvelésben contrasts with other grammatical forms that shift emphasis to the actor (érvelő), possession (érvelése), or different syntactic roles.
