Read the Introduction to The Art of Argument (hereafter abbreviated AA) and the section that compares formal logic with informal logic. You might also want to study the outline of the fallacies recorded on the inside covers of the book. Notice how they are organized by fallacies of relevance, presumption, and clarity.
