2.1.2 I-type of propositions: Particular and affirmative

I-type refers to the two concepts in the establishment of "yes" logical relationship, the coverage of the previous concept is part, the coverage of the latter concept is partial.

e.g.
Some A is C.

A is particular.

For example, the following sentence:

Some pine trees are curved.
Some birds are very large.
Some students are working hard.
Some indicator stocks are blue chip stocks.

The i-type statement is often found in rigorous articles. The writer avoids using the a-type statement, in order to avoid that once any special case occurs, the a-type statement cannot be established.

For example, in the face of the central bank's downward adjustment of deposit reserve, the tone of a-type will express the statement that “the reduction of the deposit reserve ratio will bring sufficient funds to the market and the market will rise.” The tone of i-type will be expressed in a less firm way. "The reduction in the deposit reserve ratio will bring sufficient funds to the market, and the market may rise."

Just the i-type statement requires the reader to think further, and when the reader unconsciously resists independent thinking, then the reader will feel that these words sound "ambiguous" unattractive.

[Thinking] When you are faced with a message or news, you want to think about it again, or you want to see the clear point that the other person gives?
