Resumen
Argumentative evaluation requires the definition of ideal models or argumentation structures within which the actual arguments are framed. In this article I argue that the narrative of 12 angry men shows us a perfectly defined argumentative framework, close to an ideal model. Following Walton’s work and the concepts or variables he defines to establish the theoretical models prior to the evaluation of argumentative practices, and his constant concern for the human way of arguing, we will show the masterful resolution of the film to be framed in an ideal argumentative model. Context of dialogue, shift of the burden of proof, types of dialogue, persuasion dialogue, and the maieutic function are the concepts that will help us to establish a correspondence between Walton's theory and the screenplay of 12 angry men.
