Sources of Clarification

June 21, 2022Education and Ethics 141 Views

Where can you find sources to clarify a term or idea? The following are the three possible sources of clarification (Alec, 2011). First, to clarify a term, you can rely on a dictionary. The words in the dictionary are explained in a typical, general and basic meaning. However, sometimes you do not look up a word you do not grasp in the dictionary. This is literally because it has already been clear to you, based on the context provided. Second, a term can be clarified by an author or expert in the field. When you aim to grasp a technical term, a dictionary is not a wise option. What can you do instead? You can seek help or clarification from people who are specialized in the field. For instance, if you are skeptical about whatever term in RM (Research Methodologies) or CT (Critical Thinking), you should probably approach those who have been teaching these two subjects; they are supposed to help you out. Likewise, third, the meaning of a term or expression is sometimes decided by an author in the field. In this case, experts create and declare new or special meanings of the typical words to serve their purposes in their fields only. Such words will mean another thing or not make sense at all if they are used in the other fields. Those words turn out to hold different meanings from their common ones. Argument indicator in Critical Thinking, for example, refers to an expression which shows an arguing or reasoning (Alec, 2011).
