Järeldustel

Järeldustel is an Estonian-language term used in discussions of reasoning, argumentation, and discourse to refer to the stage or product of drawing a conclusion from premises. The base noun järeldus means “conclusion,” and järeldustel is a related form that appears in scholarly writing when addressing conclusions or the process of inferring them.

In logic and argumentation theory, järeldustel denotes the inferential step by which a conclusion follows from given premises. It encompasses deductive, inductive, and abductive forms of reasoning, and scholars examine its validity, strength, and justification. In rhetoric and communication studies, the concept emphasizes how conclusions are crafted, presented, and connected to prior claims, with attention to coherence, relevance, and persuasiveness rather than solely to formal validity.

Usage of the term is primarily found in Estonian-language texts. In English-language scholarship, the concept is generally described using translations such as “conclusions” or “inferences” rather than retaining the original Estonian form. When discussed in linguistic contexts, järeldustel may appear in analyses of argument structure, discourse organization, or critical thinking pedagogy within Estonian texts.

Related concepts include järeldus (conclusion), järeldamine (inference/drawing conclusions), as well as broader topics such as deduction, induction, and logic. See also argumentation theory, rhetoric, and discourse analysis for broader context.
