@The Nature of Writing I thank you for this Video, It helped understand the basic concepts

[@pauls7056]

So well explained. But, are warrants always implied? I suspect not and this brilliant video could have been even better by addressing that. Having said that, I would be looking for what is written and your video shows we need to go much deeper than that. Your suggestion of treating the warrant as an assumption makes the model much easier to understand. Thanks for posting.

[@thenatureofwriting9222]

It might be -- make sure you check with your teacher!

@@thenatureofwriting9222 yeah here the evidence is called grounds. same thing though. thanks for the help, I didn't fully understand warrants.

[@mosfrat7711]

The Turabian "A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses and Dissertations" explains it differently. Warrant, then Claim, then Evidence.
That book actually explains the concept much better than this video.
A pdf of the 7th Edition is online, chapters 5&6 deal with Warrants.
I read this book while writing a research paper I wanted to present at a student conference. I won a writing award and $100 for the paper.

[@thenatureofwriting9222]

Thanks for the feedback. I have the 9th edition of the Turabian manual, and the discussion of warrants can be found in chap. 5. I took another look, but could not see what your objection would be. The 9th edition explains warrants last. It points out that a warrant is the general condition (what I've mostly called the assumption) that makes the specific claim or reason relevant. I could perhaps be clearer in the video, but unless you specify what's wrong I'm not sure what you would like to see corrected. Congrats on winning a prize. That's a great achievement.

[@mosfrat7711]

@@thenatureofwriting9222 In the 7th Edition (pdf available online) it says to explain the Warrant (an assumption) first. According to you, the 9th edition says to explain the Warrant last.
To specify whats wrong with your video, I prefer the 7th edition's instruction to list a warrant first. You did a good job explaining warrants.
Maybe sometimes it's best for a warrant to be last and sometimes it's best to put the Warrant first. Some writing guides online even say put the warrant in the middle (Claim, Warrant, Evidence).
Thanks for the congrats.

[@mosfrat7711]

One specific thing wrong with the video though is, you list warrants associated with the chain handguns are dangerous, but you don't show us what a paragraph would look like with a warrant.
You show us a paragraph with claims and evidence, but not a paragraph with a warrant.
