The results showed that there are simple patterns of argument containing claim, subclaim, data, and warrant (Kneuper, 1978). The orders of elements of arguments might be varied. The research results also showed that there were various pragmatic meanings found in the arguments used by the president and vice-president candidates (Palacio & Gustilo, 2016). The results of the study which was analyzed using the critical pragmatic perspective reflect how far the candidates were concerned with the marginalized, the underprivileged, and the subjugated people.
