  1. deductive argument

粵語 — Cantonese

  1. 一種只要前提啱結論就一定正確嘅論證

Examples

  • 前提一,所有身分證上面嘅性別寫住男性嘅人,法律上都係男人。前提二,方方身分證上面嘅性別寫住男人。結論就係,方方法律上係男人。呢個就係演繹論證嘅例子。

    The first premise, is that everyone with their gender on their ID card written as male, are legally males. The second premise, is that the gender on Fong-fong's ID card is male. Therefore, the conclusion is that Fong-fong is legally a male. This is an example of a deductive argument.
