Refutation involves refuting an argument, in order to invalidate or otherwise weaken that argument. Refutation also is used to revalidate an argument that already has been refuted. Thus, refutation has two different functions: to invalidate arguments and revalidate them. The process of rebuilding or revalidating arguments involves an integration of the rebuttal and constructive functions of argument.

Debaters need to remember that they cannot and should not refute every argument. Deciding which arguments should be refuted is an important part of the art of debating. Debaters need to learn to decide which arguments should be refuted and which are so unimportant that they can safely be ignored.

Refutation, whether to weaken or to rebuild an argument, may include internal and external methods of refutation. Refutation can be accomplished by following a four-step process that uses the phrases “they say,” “but I say,” “because,” and “therefore.” After the process of refutation, the process of rebuilding an argument allows a debater to reconstruct an argument that has been weakened by refutation. This process of rebuilding an argument can be accomplished by a five-step process using phrases such as, “we said,” “they said,” “but we say,” “because,” and “therefore.” Those steps sound, and are, quite mechanical. They are not designed to be a hardand-fast template for how to conduct the processes of refuting and rebuilding. They are designed as a rubric to help debaters understand the important elements of these processes so that they can communicate their refutation and rebuilding effectively.

反驳的目的是为了推翻或者削弱对方的论点。有时,反驳也可以使已经被驳斥的论点重新站住脚。因此,反驳兼具推翻某一论点和重构论点的双重功效。重构论点的过程包括驳斥论点和建设性重构论点。

辩手们需要注意的是,在辩论中无法也不该反驳对方提出的每一条论点。挑选所要反驳的论点在辩论中非常关键。辩手要学会分辨哪些需要反驳,哪些无关紧要,可以忽略。

不论反驳是为了削弱还是重构论点,其方式分为两种:由内进行和由外进行,其步骤一般可以分为四部,分别以下列短语开头:“对方认为”,“但是我方认为”,“因为”,“所以”。反驳之后,辩手还可以通过重构论点让已经被对方驳斥的论点重新焕发生机,其步骤可以分为五个部分,分别以下列短语开头:“我方认为”,“对方认为”,“但是我方认为”,“因为”,“所以”。这些步骤看起来可能比较机械,而且也确实如此,但它们并非辩论时必须遵循的模板。该步骤旨在帮助辩手们了解在反驳和重构论点时的关键要素,从而更高效地交流。
