Implicit Arguments

Implicit Arguments: 

A proposition is implicit in an arguments when it is part of the argument intended by the writer either as a process of forming reasons (premises) or of drawing conclusions, but at the same time it has not been explicitly stated  by him in the text. An evaluation of the text can be done by the author through his comments in an omniscient way.

Linguistic Signals of implicit arguments are: 

• "It is impossible to ...,
• It is important ...,
• It is fundamental ...,
• It is well known ..., 
• It deserves special attention,
• It is rare ...,
• It is simple ...,
• The problem is ..."
• It could be dangerous ...,
• In other words, 
• To put it simply, and similar phrases.

Among other characteristics of implicit arguments we say the following: 

Citing without any reference inside the context by using some hypotheses; the use of certain lexicon, with negative o positive connotation; the kind of adjectives employed, adverbs expressions such as:

• obviously,
• unfortunately,
• actually,
• absolutely,
• definitely,
• surely" 

as well as expressions of value and judgments: 

• "The consequences are catastrophic, fatal ..."
• "The experience is very enriching ..."
• "In fact, results are amazing..."
• " In effect, the work is done ..."
