Abstract
This study aims at examining different structuring of argumentation in English and classical Chinese texts as well as the modes of reasoning that dominate rhetorical practices in their respective cultures. Via this investigation, I hope to 1) articulate how models of argumentation in English and classical Chinese texts differ from each other; 2) to inspect the method and methodology of comparative rhetorical study between the two traditions. By doing so, I hope to complicate this field of research with a critique on the tendency of grasping similarities and differences in cross-cultural comparisons.
