Document Summary
Phil2100 chapter six: we say that a question is loaded when it contains a hidden, or implicit, assumption, eg. How can academics be relevant to students if they are not engaged with the most powerful research medium ever: eg. Why do all women like to shop: eg. We have heard that a half million children have died. I men, that is more children than died in hiroshima. Speech acts: when we communicate, we use speech acts. Speech acts can be expressed verbally or non-verbally. Intelligibility: context etc, components, a speech act must be interpreted, as closely as possible, to the meaning behind its various components (eg. language, gestures, pictures, music, etc. ), as well as the relationship between all these elements: the principles can be an aid as we interpret, diagram, and assess argumentative exchanges. Some arguments make assumptions, or implications, that are hidden but expected to be understood by their audience.
