significancethat

Significancethat is a coined term used in scholarly discussions to denote the explicit assertion that a result or finding carries significance. The concept blends the idea of significance with a content clause introduced by that, emphasizing the linguistic construction that communicates importance rather than the numerical measure alone. As a category, significancethat is applied in philosophy of science, research methodology, and computational linguistics to distinguish between merely reporting a result and stating its significance.

Defining features of significancethat include its scope (the proposition claimed to be significant), its signaling form (often introduced by that or by phrases like it is significant that), and its evidentiary basis (statistical, theoretical, or practical). The term is purposefully neutral about the strength of the claim; it catalogs how significance is presented in discourse, not how it is justified.

Applications of significancethat appear in statistics, research reporting, and language analytics. In statistics, researchers may pair a numerical result with a significancethat clause to communicate that the outcome is deemed meaningful within a given framework (for example, through a p-value or confidence interval). In NLP and corpus linguistics, analysts tag significancethat constructions to study reporting styles, argumentation, and evidence presentation. In knowledge management and metadata design, significancethat can guide annotations that capture both quantitative findings and the explicit claims of significance.

Examples: "The significancethat the treatment reduced symptoms was supported by multiple trials." "It is significant that the model generalizes to new data, although the effect size is small."
