| argument | a set of statements, one of which appears to be implied or supported by the others |
| conclusion | the statement that appears to be implied by the other statements in an argument |
| premises | the statements that support or imply the conclusion |
| Arguments contain only one conclusion and | may contain more than one premise. |
| therefore, thus, and so, in conclusion | words that indicate the concluding statement of an argument |
| because, since, for, or given that | words that indicate that the following words are a premise |
| syllogism | a deductive argument with two premises and three terms |
| categorical syllogism | a syllogism consisting of three statements in categorical form |
| major term (P) | the predicate of the conclusion, used in one premise |
| minor term (S) | the subject of the conclusion, used in one premise |
| middle term (M) | found once in each premise, not found in the conclusion at all |
| major premise | the premise that contains the major term |
| minor premise | the premise that contains the minor term |
| The standard order for statements in a syllogism is | 1) major premise, 2) minor premise, 3) conclusion |
| When you see the word "because" in an argument, you will likely find | the conclusion immediately BEFORE the word. |
