In addition, Wayne Brockriede and Douglas Ehninger brought to coaction the six key terms in Toulmin model connecting the three legs of the communication (triangle), which are: writer, subject, and audience and it included as a support warrant the claims of fact, value and policy (Rottenberg, Winchell, 2015) . Toulmin described the claims of fact confirm that a condition has existed, exists or will exist this are determined on based, facts or data which an audience will accept as being objectively and verifiable.
