CLAIMS could be about your belief, assertion (stating something confidently), argument, or
stand.
AS PER TIONGSON 2016, a good claim should be clear, specific, interesting, debatable,
argumentative, logical and backed up by evidences.
CLAIMS IN THE TEXT are important in supporting the arguments or debate. However, the
information can be explicit or implicit.
• EXPLICIT CLAIM – means you don’t need to analyze the text thoroughly because it is
directly stated or given.
• IMPLICIT CLAIM – means the writer indirectly expressed the information or claim, so
you need to analyze the text carefully to understand the meaning.
➢ THERE ARE 3 TYPES OF CLAIMS:
- CLAIM OF FACT – the claims should be from factual information like
history and data. The information is explicit and verified.
- CLAIM OF POLICY – is an argument where advocates actions to address
the issues. Thus, it is also called CLAIM OF SOLUTION. It is still based
on facts and verified.
- CLAIM OF VALUE – It is beyond facts and policies because it is
subjective. It is based on your own opinion, judgement, morality, ethics,
emotions etc. Therefore, it is also called CLAIM OF JUDGEMENT
because you decide whether the argument is right/acceptable or
wrong/rejected.
