Abstract Traditional conceptualizations of argument usually include a ‘connecting premise’ or ‘warrant’ that needs to be added by the analyst when missing from the original discourse. This paper provides an alternative to adding such missing premises from a list of predefined argument schemes by using the framework of the Periodic Table of Arguments (PTA). It describes the Argument Type Identification Procedure (ATIP) and explains how to derive the so-called ‘lever’ of an argument from its identification.
