Fundamentals of Critical Argumentation
Presenting the basic tools for the identification, analysis, and evaluation of common arguments for beginners, this book informs by using examples of arguments in dialogues, both in the text itself and in the exercises. (Examples of controversial legal, political, and ethical arguments are analyzed.) Illustrating the most common kinds of arguments, the book also explains how to evaluate each kind by critical questioning. Douglas Walton demonstrates the reasonable nature of arguments under the right dialogue conditions by using critical questions to evaluate them.

This book is designed around the assumption that ‘thinking’ is the core competency of the graduate, more specifically, ‘applied critique’. This means an ability to critique contemporary problems systematically and constructively, using multiple stances methodically. This is a core competency, which can later be thoughtfully evolved through experience in the workplace. Applied critique is knowledge that stands the test of time by providing the generic skill to evaluate any particular problem, technique, fad or common- sense solution that comes over the horizon, whether at home, at work or in your community.
Coherence in Natural Language: Data Structures and Applications (Bradford Books)
In Coherence and Natural Language, Florian Wolf and Edward Gibson specify and evaluate criteria for descriptively adequate data structures for representing discourse coherence. They test the influence of discourse structure on pronoun processing, evaluate different approaches for determining the relative importance of document segments, and propose a new coherence-based algorithm to accomplish this task. Their book offers the first large-scale empirical evaluation of data structures for representing coherence and also includes novel psycholinguistic tests of existing information extraction and text summarization systems.
This thorough yet brief book surveys the issues raised by teaching grammar in the context of writing and gives readers tools to evaluate the grammar of student writing.
It's true that a powerful vocabulary will pave the way to success! To measure verbal skills, most standardized or placement tests include a vocabulary section. In addition, civil service, health care, or job placement exams evaluate a candidate's verbal aptitude with a vocabulary test.
