Argumentacja, sposoby rozumowania i budowa tekstu o muzyce przez uczniów gimnazjum

Abstract

The subject of this paper is an analysis of argumentative texts constructed by grammar school pupils according to the following scheme: the main assumption, for and (rarely) against arguments with the conviction that the receiver shares the sender’s opinions about an influence of music. The discussion about music involved learned texts from the Bible, mythology, and literature referring to the intellectual sphere (elements of the receiver’s likes and dislikes connected with the age, semantics). Such texts belong to artificial competence of a group at the approximate level of language acquisition that can be named a pupil’s argumentative skill.
