Document Summary

Statement: claim that something is or is not the case. A statement is a simple sentence that has just one meaning, for it expresses one thought. Also, a statement asserts that something is the case, or is not the case. When a statement asserts that something is the case, it is called an affirmation; when it asserts that something is not the case, it is also called a negation/ denial. One way to recognize a statement is to look for sentences that could be given as a direct answer to a straightforward question. Premise: a statement given in support of another statement; a claim put forth as a reason for a conclusion. Conclusion: a statement that premises are meant to support. A claim meant to be supported by reasons offered in the argument. Argument: a group of statements in which some of them (the premises) are intended to support another of them (the conclusion).
