Abstract
A growing body of research has recently been devoted to argumentative discourse in healthcare settings. Within this framework, this study carries out a corpus-based investigation on web-based resources employed in Ireland to communicate to the public about cancer. The qualitative and quantitative evidence of the investigation establishes a correlation between the deployment of argument forms, phraseological tools and the sections in which argumentative discourse is most likely to cluster.
