This paper reports the results of an empirical study on argumentativeness in the discourse of Chilean elderly people and young university students. Argumentativeness means s speaker’s willingness to deliver or evade the use of reasons in a dialogue when there is a difference of opinion. From the theoretical point of view, different approaches to the concept of argumentativeness are reviewed, including those proposed from the psychology of reasoning or the theory of communication, in order to come up with a new and original conceptual framework. From the methodological point of view, a semi-structured interview was used. In the interview, different types of argumentative patterns were presented to which the interviewee had to respond. Among the most important results, it was found that while age is, in fact, a particular factor that partially influences a person’s argumentativeness, gender is not. Finally, some ideas to further research in this area are suggested.
