Examples: “I wish I could have expressed this idea earlier, because now someone else has taken the credit.” “Excuse me, first I want to finish my work, then I shall go with you.” EMPHATIC ASSERTION It occurs when the speaker or writer conveys sympathy or recognition of the other person’s position or feelings. This acknowledgement is then followed by a statement that conveys the speaker’s own beliefs. Example: “I recognize you are busy with multiple projects, but I still need a response to my email by Thursday.” ESCALATING ASSERTION It begins with an assertion that doesn’t receive a response. The speaker or writer then escalates by making a second assertion that states their position in a firm manner. Example: “If I do not hear back from you by Thursday, I will have to hire someone else to work on this project.” I-LANGUAGE ASSERTION It is frequently used during interpersonal conflict to defuse the situation. It involves the first person pronoun “I,” and is useful for expressing negative feelings. Examples: “When you speak harshly, I cannot work with you because I feel annoyed. Therefore, I want you to speak nicely and then assign me a task.” POSITIVE ASSERTION It occurs when speakers asserts positive feelings about themselves or others. Examples: “My presentation went very well today.” “You used a wonderful analogy in your essay.”  ANY QUESTIONS OR CLARIFICATIONS? Reference: https://www.slideshare.net/sli deshow/critical-reading-as- reasoning-types-of- assertionspptx/257309245#8
