- as
- for the reason that

- follows from
- etc.
Two remarks on indicators:
1. The occurence of an indicator does not suffice. We need to find also an inferential relationship.
a. Since yesterday, it did not stop raining (temporal meaning)
b. Since it is raining, I will take my umbrella (logical meaning)
2. Sometimes, there are no indicators. It is then necessary to inquire the implicit inferential
relationshio between the statements in order to identify what statement follows from the other(s).
This might be tested by mentally inserting the world “Therefore” and assessing whether it fits.
a. I really need some money. I should get a job.
b. I really need some money. Therefore, I should get a job.
Non-arguments
Not all passages are arguments. Examples:
Simple non-inferential passages where nothing is said to be proved.
