Summary:The purpose of the article is to present a useful theoretical proposal for the analysis of argumentation within the guidebook genre. The study perspective is supported on the rhetorical-pragmatic perspective of argumentation provided by some authors as well as the theoretical models applied to the study of persuasion in guidebooks suggested by Adam/Bonhomme (1997), Hernández-Santaolalla and Cobo-Durán (2010).

Keywords: rhetorical, argumentation, guidebook, rhetorical operations, topical.
