RWS Explicit and Implicit
Claims
are synonymous to belief, argument,
assertion, or stand. According to
(Tiongson 2016, 20-21), a good claim
should be argumentative and debatable,
specific and focused, interesting and
engaging, and logical.
These information can be explicit or
implicit.
An explicit claim is directly and clearly
stated in the text. It is when you can
easily point out the information in the
passage.
Observing behavior as it occurs.
Meanwhile, an implicit claim is
indirectly expressed in the text
and you need to look for clues or
make inferences to understand its
meaning.
Observing the effect or result of
the behavior.
There are three types of claims in
written texts.
Claim of policy
is the argument where actions should be carried out.
Basically, it is perceived as a relatively direct
statement.
This claim can also be called claim of solution
because it suggests and supports policies and
solutions, and the action to be taken is based on the
results. You will know if a statement is a claim of
policy if there is an action to be done or a solution to
be taken.
Example
Legislationshould be passed to stop the
sale of cigarettes.
A dress code should be introduced for all
public high schools.
Lesson 3 CLAIM OF VALUE
Claim of value
is an argument based on morality, belief, ethics, or philosophy. It is
influentially stated by combining limited facts and proving them as
either good or bad by targeting the reader’s emotion.
It is also called claim of judgment
because the reader has to decide whether the argument or
proposition is right or wrong or has to be accepted or rejected. In
other words, this type of claim is more appealing to the reader’s
subjectivity.
If the argument challenges the decision making or judgment leading
to acceptance or rejection of the reader, then it is considered to be
a claim of value.
