EXPLICIT AND IMPLICIT
CLAIMS IN A TEXT
Explicit Implicit
What’s the difference between explicit and
implicit?
Implicit Explicit
- means “implied or - stated clearly and in detail,
understood though not plainly leaving no room for
or directly expressed.” confusion or doubt.
Something is, therefore,
implicit when it is not directly
stated but is either suggested
in the wording or necessary to
effectuate the purpose.
Three Kinds of Claim
Claims- Definition
The word claim comes from the Latin word
“clamare”, which means “to cry out, shout.”
In literature, a claim is a statement that asserts
something to be true. A claim can either be
factual or a judgement. Claims can work on
their own or in conjunction with other claims to
form a larger argument.
Claim
A statement essentially arguable, but used as a primary point to

support or prove an argument is called a claim. If somebody
gives an argument to support his position, it is called “making
a claim.” Different reasons are usually presented to prove why
a certain point should be accepted as logical.
Example:
1. Summer is a season. This is a fact. It can’t be argued.
How about, “Summer is the BEST season.” You should give
reason and details to support you claim. That makes it a fact.
Three Kinds of Claim
1. Claim of fact
- It asserts that a condition has existed (past), exists (present),
or will exist (future) and are based on facts or data. Example:
Obesity causes health problems.
2. Claim of Value – It attempts to prove that some things are

more or less desirable than others.
Example: Gay marriage is immoral.
3. Claim of Policy- It suggests a solution to a problem that has

been defined or described by an argument.
Example: I think we need to elect the Supreme Court.
Summary:
This is what separates these two words.
Something is implicit when it is implied
but not directly stated. Something is
explicit when it is directly stated and
leaves no room for uncertainly.
