Usage Note

Argumental is a literary/critical term meaning 'relating to the plot or argument of a work.' It does not change form for gender (el hilo argumental, la línea argumental). Learners should not confuse it with argumentativo ('argumentative'), which describes a person or debating style rather than a narrative structure.

Examples

"El hilo argumental de la novela es complejo."

Natural Translation

The plot thread of the novel is complex.
