    EXPLICIT AND IMPLICIT CLAIMS IN A TEXT
    TYPES OF CLAIM

    Name:__________________________________________________________________
    Grade & Section:__________________________________Score:______________
    Teacher:___________________________________________Date:_______________

    Learning Competency
    Identify claims explicitly or implicitly made in a written text
    a. Claim of fact
    b. Claim of policy
    c. Claim of value

    Objectives:
    1. Distinguish claims of fact, value, and policy from a written text.
    2. Identify explicit and implicit claims in a text.
    3. Write an editorial about one area of concern in society incorporating
    the corresponding claims of fact, value, or policy

    Let’s Understand
    A Claim is a statement that an author discusses, explains, or proves in
    his writing. In persuasive or argumentative writing, the central claim made
    is called the thesis, which determines and limits the scope of the topic.

    TYPES OF CLAIMS
    1. Claim of Fact: A claim asserts some empirical truth.
    Something that can be determined by careful observation of past, present
    or future.
    • Generally, the truth of the assertion will be determined by events. But
    the speaker will offer information or explanation that predicts or
    characterizes the events.
    • Claims of fact are those we think about rightly as being true or false. Of
    course, sometimes we cannot prove something true or false, but we have
    to say, “How likely is it that it is true?” But the reasons we give are the
    reasons we believe the statement is true or false.
    • Argument usually turns on strength of evidence presented as reason for
    arguer’s belief in the claim.
    2. Claim of Judgment or Value: A claim asserts a judgment of some sort.
    Look for key words that are a matter of judgment rather that fact:
    good, well, kind, useful, desirable, etc.
    • Speakers provide the reasoning for their judgment, but ultimately, it
    is assent to the reasons rather than comparisons to fact that
    determines the agreement to the claim.
    • A claim is based on things we like or dislike. Thus, it deals with
    goals, with things we find attractive.
    • Your feel for the argument by judgment or value has to be different
    than that of fact. Disagreements over values are not “wrong” in the
    sense that they are inaccurate. Rather, they turn on what is
    important to us and how the things that are important to us come to
    bear on a situation.
    • Argument usually turns on whether the underlying value of the claim
    is accepted as a public good.

    3. Claim of Action or Policy: A claim asserts that an action should be taken.


    Be sensitive to calls that some action be taken.
    • Look for key words “should” or “ought.” These words may not always
    be present, but if they are, actions are usually called for.
    • Decisions about whether we should take an action or not are the
    most complex of arguments. They turn on many claims about what
    happens if we do take an action or what happens if we fail to act.
    • Argument usually turns on whether the reasons for taking the action
    outweigh the possible costs of taking the action.

    Claim of Fact:
    Examples:
    1. Research studies are conducted to improve human condition.
    2. Climate Change has already become an issue in the country

    Claim of Value:
    Examples:
    1. Musical comedy is the best form of entertainment.
    2. Communication is better than computation.

    Claim of Policy:
    Examples:
    1. Fetal tissue should be banned in any research undertaking.
    2. The government should continue to offer scholarship programs
    especially to the poor but bright student.
    3. Let’s Apply
    Identify whether the following are claims of fact, value, or policy
    by writing CF for claim of fact, CV for claim of value, and CP for
    claim of policy on the blanks before the claim:

    _____1. Teachers must have higher salaries.


    _____2. The Filipino language needs to be developed.
    _____3. The Earth’s climate is changing fast.
    _____4. Zoos should be abolished.
    _____5. More people have access to clean water today than in the 1970s.

    Let’s Analyze
    Directions: Read news articles/editorials or excerpts from magazines.
    Identify the type of claim/s present and support with
    reasons/explanation.

    Let’s Try

    Read the text carefully. Identify what text is stated explicitly and
    Implicitly. Explain your answer.

    Text A. In 2016, the local government of Batangas launched five new


    projects,
    organized three seminars, and provided job opportunities for young
    people in the community. Also, political authorities recognized the
    achievements of the youth and granted rewards to young people who
    had a significant impact on society and on other youth.

    Text B. It was bound to happen sooner or later: the desk phone, once an icon
    in any office, is now officially on its deathbed. According to a recent
    survey by Dialpad, a San Francisco-based communications tech-
    nology company, the trend of telecommuting and employees who
    would rather work anywhere but the office, is rendering the desk
    phone all but obsolete.

    “Our survey reveals that while the slow and painful death of the desk
    phone has clearly begun, it cannot happen fast enough for many
    workers,” Craig Walker, CEO of Dialpad, told VoIP Monitoring in an
    interview earlier this summer. “The anywhere worker movement is
    now evident in every segment of every industry. This significant trend
    will only accelerate over the next few years.”

    Text C. People I general are becoming more dependent on technology. In the


    Philippines alone, for instance, there were 114.6 million mobile
    subscriptions and 44.2 million active internet users according to the
    global Web statistics released by a global agency called We are Social
    Singapore. Since January 2014, the number of active internet users
    Has grown 18 percent, while the number of mobile subscriptions
    Has grown 7 percent.
