In this essay, we aim to present the necessary elements for a transdisciplinary approach of
the study of argumentation in order to apply it to the teaching-learning process of argumentative texts
reading and production. Assuming that mono-disciplinary perspectives in Linguistics are limited to deal
with the complexity argumentation, due to its commitment to the production of basic knowledge in
which prevails knowledge fragmentation, it is postulated that such a task could only be successfully
carried out if Linguistics is conceived as a critical applied science. Thus, it is argued that the formal
structure of argumentation must be deduced from the language practices that engender the textual
genres imbued, directly or indirectly, with the aim of persuading. Two paths are suggested. The first
one involves the construction of a theoretical and methodological apparatus, from the appropriation
of theoretical constructs of ancient rhetoric, the new rhetoric and linguistic theories as pragmatic,
textual linguistics, argumentative semantics, theories of genres, analysis speech, enunciation theories,
conversation analysis, sociology, cultural studies, philosophy, language philosophy and others,
according to the objectives of the teaching-learning process. The second path consists in the
construction of a theoretical methodological device capable of substantiating practices of analysis and
production of argumentative texts that are conceived as extremely complex objects.
