Module 01. Extra: Collocations

Hi,

I just checked out the possible collocations for the word argument, and these are the results:


argument noun
1. angry discussion:
angry, bitter, heated, violent, big, argument
little, silly, stupid argument

2. reason supporting opinion:
basic, general, main, good, major, powerful, sound, strong, valid, compelling, conclusive, convincing, persuasive, plausible argument

Source: OXFORD Collocations Dictionary for students of English

The collocation 'plain argument', as some of you suggested in class, might also be possible, but I haven't found any reliable sources to verify it. If you find any good references on the Internet, do not hesitate to post your sources in the Comments section.

See you tomorrow!
