Determining Explicit and Implicit Claims in a Text
Reading and evaluating claims, judging
proofs, questioning assumptions requires
critical thinking. This type of reading is more
than passively understanding what you are
reading because it allows you to make sound
judgements after scrutinizing the message of
the text and the ideas that it tries to relay.
Determining Explicit and Implicit Claims in a Text
Critical reading is a skill that allows to
identify information which are clearly
stated (explicit) and ideas that are
suggested (implicit) because it will help
you make inferences based on what you
have read.
Determining Explicit and Implicit Claims in a Text
The definition of implicit is, “implied or
understood though not plainly or directly
expressed.” Something is, therefore,
implicit when it is not directly stated but is
either suggested in the wording or
necessary to effectuate the purpose.
Determining Explicit and Implicit Claims in a Text
Ex.
She implicitly said she likes white shoes by
saying she likes all colors but tan.
In the first example, the writer may not have
clearly or directly laid out a moral vision, but
it is understood through the characters, their
actions, and their experiences.
Determining Explicit and Implicit Claims in a Text

Ex.

His eyes reflect the color of

the sky on a sunny day.
Determining Explicit and Implicit Claims in a Text
The definition of explicit is, “to fully and
clearly express something, leaving
nothing implied.” Something is explicit
when it is cleared stated and spelled out
and there is no room for confusion, as in
the writing of a contract or statute.
Determining Explicit and Implicit Claims in a Text
Examples:
*The law was explicit in whose tax rates were to be
raised.
*He said explicitly, you will not attend that concert.
In both of these examples, the word explicit is used to
demonstrate something that
has been clearly and unambiguously expressed or
stated.
