Premisesreasons
Premisesreasons is a coined term used to describe the relationship between premises and the reasons they provide within an argument. The word fuses premises (the propositions assumed as starting points) with reasons (the justificatory material offered to support a claim). In standard argumentation theory, premises are statements from which a conclusion logically follows; the reasons are the justification those premises give for accepting the conclusion.
Usage: The term is not widely standardized and does not appear as a formal category in most
Definition: Premisesreasons are the statements that serve as justification for a claim, forming the evidential basis
Examples: All humans are mortal (premise/reason). Socrates is a human (premise/reason). Therefore, Socrates is mortal (conclusion).
