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.
