1
From: "Human Potential & Development."
Split Justification: Development fundamentally involves both our inner landscape (**Internal World**) and our interaction with everything outside us (**External World**). (Ref: Subject-Object Distinction)..
2
From: "Internal World (The Self)"
Split Justification: The Internal World involves both mental processes (**Cognitive Sphere**) and physical experiences (**Somatic Sphere**). (Ref: Mind-Body Distinction)
3
From: "Cognitive Sphere"
Split Justification: Cognition operates via deliberate, logical steps (**Analytical Processing**) and faster, intuitive pattern-matching (**Intuitive/Associative Processing**). (Ref: Dual Process Theory)
4
From: "Analytical Processing"
Split Justification: Analytical thought engages distinct symbolic systems: abstract logic and mathematics (**Quantitative/Logical Reasoning**) versus structured language (**Linguistic/Verbal Reasoning**).
5
From: "Linguistic/Verbal Reasoning"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the receptive aspects of linguistic reasoning, involving the understanding and interpretation of spoken or written language, from the expressive aspects, which involve the formulation and production of spoken or written language. These are distinct, fundamental processes that together encompass all facets of verbal reasoning.
6
From: "Verbal Comprehension"
Split Justification: This split distinguishes between understanding the explicit, directly stated meaning of verbal information and understanding the unstated, implied, or deeper meaning that requires synthesis and deduction. These represent distinct levels of cognitive processing within overall verbal comprehension.
7
From: "Inferential Comprehension"
Split Justification: This split divides inference into understanding unstated social meaning and intent (Pragmatic & Discourse Inference) and evaluating the structural soundness of an argument (Logical Analysis).
8
From: "Pragmatic & Discourse Inference"
Split Justification: This split distinguishes between inferring meaning from social context and speaker intent (Social & Intentional Inference) and inferring meaning from the logical and structural connections within the text itself (Coherence & Structural Inference).
9
From: "Coherence & Structural Inference"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the inference of meaningful, logical connections between propositions and ideas (semantic coherence) from the inference of the overarching organizational patterns, genre, and rhetorical structures of the discourse (rhetorical and organizational structure). While interconnected, one focuses on the internal logical flow of content, and the other on the external formal arrangement of the discourse.
10
From: "Rhetorical and Organizational Structure Inference"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the inference of how information is logically arranged and sequenced within a text (Organizational Structure) from the inference of the speaker/writer's strategic use of language and argument to achieve specific communicative effects or intent (Rhetorical Strategy).
11
From: "Rhetorical Strategy Inference"
Split Justification: This split categorizes rhetorical strategy inference based on the primary mode of persuasive appeal: those targeting logical reasoning (rational appeals/Logos) versus those targeting emotions and perceptions of the speaker's character or credibility (affective and character-based appeals/Pathos and Ethos). These represent fundamental and distinct categories of rhetorical strategies.
12
From: "Inference of Rational Appeals"
Split Justification: Rational appeals in rhetoric fundamentally consist of two interdependent components: the logical framework or pattern of reasoning employed to connect ideas (structure), and the specific data, evidence, or accepted truths that serve as the foundation for those ideas (basis). This dichotomy distinguishes between inferring the 'how' of the argument's construction and the 'what' of its informational components.
