The article focuses on the argumentative superstructure component of popular science speeches. It includes three subcomponents (thesis, argument, demonstration). The thesis illustrates the position of the author of a popular science speech regarding the issue raised in the speech. The argument is a means of proving the statement. The demonstration is a means of explaining / clarifying the first two subcomponents. Thus, the function of the demonstration is to help the audience / listeners understand the full scope of the information contained in the thesis and argument. The palette of linguistic means marks the argumentative supercomponent and its subcomponents described in this article. Understanding superstructure generation mechanisms is necessary for translation & interpreting students in particular to remember large amounts of information better when interpreting.
