25. DETERMINING TEXTUAL EVIDENCE TO VALIDATE ASSERTIONS AND COUNTERCLAIMS ABOUT A TEXT READ

26. Textual evidence refers to the evidence gathered from the original source or other texts, that supports an argument or thesis statement.

27. Textual evidence Using textual evidence , or specific quotations and examples from a text that directly relate to your point, is essential for supporting your argument, particularly in academic writing.

28. Textual evidence To better evaluate the author’s argument, a reader should be able to determine the evidence from the text.

29. Textual evidence This allows him or her to validate the assertions of the author and his or her own counterclaims as a response to reading.

30. Textual evidence The evidence provided by the writer substantiates the text. It reveals and builds on the position of the writer and makes the reading more interesting.

31. Textual evidence Evidence is crucial for the author to sway the reader to his or her side. A jury or judge, for example, relies on the evidence presented by a lawyer before he/she makes a decision regarding a case.

32. The following are the characteristics of a good evidence : 1 . unified; 2. relevant to the central point; 3. specific and concrete; 4. accurate; and 5. representative or typical

33. Four Types of Textual Evidence 1 . Statistical Evidence The strongest type of evidence in formal writing is statistical evidence. This ranges from true, hard data presented as a percentage or number, to survey-type data.

34. For example, statistical evidence could be: ● 3 out of 5 doctors claim that... ● 90% of women in the Philippines... ● 8 members of the committee were present during... Statistical evidence can be proven as fact. You can actually go out and find hard information to prove your particular claim.

35. Four Types of Textual Evidence 2 . Testimonial Evidence The use of celebrities as credible evidence can be considered testimonial in nature. Many people look up to celebrities as role models in their lives. Good or bad, when a person chooses a life-path that takes him/her into public light, there will be many others out there who want to emulate the celebrity. These celebrity endorsements provide the second-strongest type of evidence found in formal arguments.

36. Four Types of Textual Evidence Testimonial evidence can also be collected from experts and authorities in a given field. Doctors, dentists, lawyers often provide expert testimonials. Their authority is not often questioned for they are expected to "know their stuff."

37. Four Types of Textual Evidence 3. Anecdotal Evidence When storytelling is involved as evidence, anecdotal evidence is being used. Due to its less objective nature, anecdotal evidence is not extremely strong. When coupled with statistical or testimonial evidence, anecdotal evidence can be highly effective in determining credibility or proof.

38. Four Types of Textual Evidence Storytelling, although based on fact, can include quite a bit of opinion, thus making it less objective. Usually, eyewitnesses are used as providers of anecdotal evidence. They saw or experienced the phenomenon at hand, telling their version or side of the story.

39. Four Types of Textual Evidence 4. Analogical Evidence When information is scarce about something and little is known, analogical evidence is often used in a formal argument to increase credibility of the proof.

40. If the phenomenon in question is new and little is known about it, analogical evidence that pulls in known factors about a similar phenomenon to show parallels can be an effective way to provide proof.

41. Due to limited knowledge about the phenomenon, in this situation, analogical evidence can be regarded as the weakest type of evidence used in formal arguments. One can only imagine and hope that the comparison-phenomenon is close enough that the results can be applied to the new phenomenon.
