Abstract The pragma-dialectical typology of argument schemes consists of three main categories: symptomatic argumentation, comparison argumentation and causal argumentation. The subcategories and variants of these main categories have not yet been distinguished systematically. In this contribution the authors start doing so by distinguishing the most important subtypes and variants of comparison argumentation. They argue that two distinct subtypes of comparison argumentation need to be distinguished: descriptive comparison argumentation and normative comparison argumentation.
