Claim and Counterclaim Signal Words

A claim is a statement that presents an arguable position.

It reflects your interpretation, belief, or opinion.

The claim typically answers the question: “What do I think?”

To respond to a claim by denying it with a corresponding reason or evidence is to make a counterclaim.

A counterclaim is the strongest argument against a claim.

Reason or Evidence to Confirm the Claim

• Counterclaim: According to my research, it was Indian literature that had an influence on Japanese literature through the preparation of Buddhism in Japan.

• The claim and counterclaim pattern can be found more frequently in political journalism, as well as letters to the editor, magazines, and argumentative speeches. 

To counter or argue a claim, consider a different opinion or a contrary view.

Then provide evidence that would back up your argument. 

Claim: Green-backed herons in Japan imitate people who feed bread to fish found in ornamental lakes.

• Reasons and Evidence: Those clever birds use pieces of bread to bait fish within easy reach. Egrets in the Caribbean also use bread to lure fish. These birds even catch fish using their yellow feet. They stand in low water on one foot while they wag their other foot in the water to attract the attention of nosy fish.

Loneliness is not the same as aloneness. In big cities, thousands of people live closely. Illogically, this cramming of people together creates widespread loneliness. The hustle and bustle of city life can prevent many from really getting to know their neighbors. Thus, city dwellers end up living among strangers. More so, the all-too-common distrust of strangers and the desire to protect one’s privacy may truly play a big role in the rate of loneliness in big cities.
