1. Explicit meaning: is clearly stated, with no doubt about content or the purpose of the author or speaker; no inference (guessing)
needed.
Explicit denotes being very clear and complete without vagueness, implication, or ambiguity. When something is said to be
explicit, there is no question as to what is being expressed or conveyed—nothing is implied or assumed.
- There is no question as to what it means, no hidden connotations and no room for misunderstanding
Explicit Questions: are questions whose answers are right there in the text. There is a right or wrong answer to these questions
that can be found explicitly in the words in the text.
2. Implicit meaning: is not clearly stated; the reader or the listener has to infer (make an educated guess) what the author or the
speaker means.
Implicit, on the other hand, denotes that something is understood although not clearly or directly expressed or conveyed—there
is implication, assumption, or question.
- It is not expressly stated, but the reader understands it anyway through other clues in the text.
Implicit Questions: are questions that require the reader to make inferences based on information in the text—to fill in gaps in
the text that the author doesn’t explicitly state. These questions cannot be answered without the text, but they also cannot be
answered by using exact words from the text. They require readers to think about what the author has stated explicitly, what the
author has hinted at or implied.
