This is not an offical or academic answer, just the answer of someone who likes to "argue" logically. I think in terms of a chain. If this, then this. Each aspect or peice of the arguement has to connect to the next peice without any room for arguement from opposition. My premise must be able to stand up against scrutiny at each "link". It is essential to argue against another person who understands what a logical arguement is and who knows the difference between fact and opinion. (So many people believe, erroneously, that their opinion IS fact.) It is also important not to argue with an idiot. People can't tell you apart.

An argument consists of a premise, an inference and a conclusion. A premise is a statement asserting a proposition. An inference is a statement accepting the premise and deriving another premise from it. A conclusion connects the premise and inference. This gets a lot more detailed, with several types of arguments, several types of premises and several ways to present them. Of course the argument need not be valid and any element of it may be false. "Ronald isn't Irish". "Ronald has black hair." "Black haired people aren't Irish."
