The structure of some kinds of arguments typically to be found in theoretical-empirical social science is examined with special attention to the rules of deduction which in the majority of cases remain implicit. Four types of propositions - describing deterministic relations between attributes (statements of the form ‘if x, then y’), describing monotonous deterministic relations between serials (‘the more x, the more y’) and their probabilistic counterparts - as well as two classes of rules of deduction (based on the properties of transitivity and conjunctivity of corresponding statement forms) are treated. Of the propositions only those of the deterministic if-then kind are unproblematic. The thesis is advanced that most of those ‘arguments‘ presented in social science consisting of sentences of relatively complicated structures - using rules, however, which are exclusively valid for deterministic if-then-statements - are not correct.
