Implicit Conclusion & Premises



There is a lot of implicit conclusion and premise all around us. For example, we can see through advertisement, announment and eventhough conversation.

Can you find out the implicit conclusion and premise all the time?

Do you know what means implicit conclusion?

When the conclusion stated outright and the arguer "assumes" that you will know it and that is an implicit conclusion.

When the premise stated outright and the arguer "assumes" that you will know it and that is an implicit premise.

Why do we need to figure out the implicit conclusion and premise?

It is because we need to understand what the arguer actually want us to know.

I was surfing facebook just now and I found some funny picture that make me laugh, but actuallythere is an implicit conclusion and premises behind this picture.

The arguer who post this announcement actually is telling us there is cctv around, do not try to do illegal things.

Anyone who caught will send to the police station.

So actually the implict conclusion is Do not try shoplifting!
And the implict premise are You will be send to police station is you shoplifting.
