claims in a text
Explicit or
Implicit
EXPLICIT CLAIMS
-assertions that
are said by the
text.
IMPLICIT CLAIMS
-assertions that are
meant by the text (even
though it is not
necessarily said)
 Look at the ff. excerpt
and identify the explicit
and implicit claims
present:
 There are three kinds of book owners. The first has all the
standard sets and best sellers—unread, untouched. (This
deluded individual owns wood-pulp and ink, not books.) The
second has a great many books—a few of them read
through, most of them dipped into, but all of them as clean
and shiny as the day they were bought. (This person would
probably like to make books his own but is restrained by a
false respect for their physical appearance.) The third has a
few books or many—every one of them dog—eared and
dilapidated, shaken and loosened by continual use, marked
and scribbled in front to back. (This man owns books).
--Mortimer Adler, “How to Mark a Book,” Saturday Review
EXPLICIT CLAIM: There are three
types of book owners: those who
only own them without reading,
those who own and read them
but respect their appearance, and
those who own and read the
books to their full capacity.
IMPLICIT CLAIM: Real book
owners read their books not
because they want to keep a
collection but because they
genuinely want to study and
understand the books.
Exercise:
Read the ff. text.

stated are explicit or
implicit

TYPES OF
CLAIMS
TYPES OF CLAIMS
FACT, VALUE, AND
POLICY
CLAIM OF
FACT
 -makes an assertion
about something that
can be proved or
disproved with factual
evidence.
 -However, keep in mind
the basic quality of
claims, that they have to
be debatable, and offer an
assertion about an issue.
-So, a claim of fact
for a logical
argument cannot
simply consist of a
statistic or proven
fact.
-It needs, instead, to focus
on an assertion which uses
facts to back it up, but for
which the evidence might
still be debatable.
 -are also easily
verifiable, because
there are ways to
measure whether
they are true or not.
 Example:
“Adventure Time is
a show liked by
many.”
 Example:
Decreasing carbon dioxide emissions
from car exhaust, manufacturing
processes, fertilizers, and landfills, while
slowing deforestation, may help slow the
process of global warming.
 Non-Example:

Homeschooling is better
than enrolling in the
public school system.
