The aim of this work is to analyze the argumentaive discourse of university students of a course of physics. We seek to establish a relationship between this discourse and the understanding of the contents of the discipline. The analysis of the response of 25 students to a written activity is performed, recognizing the basic components of the arguments, as well as the logical structure of the arguments. We use the models proposed by Toulmin, Van Dijk and Adam an we evaluate the relevance of the different argumentative components in relation to the required conceptual contents.The results show that in most cases the main components of the argumentation patterns proposed by the models used are incomplete. Many of the students present conceptual misunderstandings. It can be concluded that there is a relationship between the conceptual and symbolic language of the discipline and the structure of argumentative discourse. The best–structured discourses turned out to be the ones that showed greater concep-tual understanding. El objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar el discurso argumentativo de estudiantes universitarios de un curso de física. Se pretende establecer una relación entre dicho discurso y la comprensión de los contenidos de la disciplina. Se realiza el análisis de la respuesta de 25 estudiantes a una actividad escrita, reconociendo los componentes básicos de los argumentos, así como la estructura lógica de los mismos. Para ello se utilizan los modelos propuestos por Toulmin, Van Dijk y Adam. Por otro lado, se evalúa la pertinencia de los diferentes componentes argumentativos en relación a los contenidos conceptuales requeridos.Los resultados muestran que en la mayoría de los casos se encuentran los componentes principales de los pa-trones de argumentación propuestos por los modelos utilizados, pero de manera incompleta. Muchos de los estudiantes presentan incomprensiones conceptuales. Se puede concluir que existe una relación entre el manejo del lenguaje conceptual y simbólico de la disciplina y la estructura del discurso argumentativo. Los discursos mejor estructurados resultaron ser los que mostraron mayor comprensión conceptual.
