Abstract

In BP debate system

each debater endeavors to convince judges andaudiences with arguments

in which the use of supports determines whether the argument is effective or not. This thesisadopts the transcripts in final round of 20th and21th “FLTRP” National English Debating Competition as the samples to figure out howexcellent debaters use the support to strengthen their claims. Withanalysis ofstatistic data

it is discovered that each claim isstrengthened by at least two or more types of supports. Besides

explanationand sub-claim are used most frequently amongfour kinds of supports

followed by evidence and analogy. This might be related withthe impromptunature of BP debate and debaters’ critical thinking ability.
