Please Note:
Use first person personal pronouns and
possessive pronouns freely; signpost. Phrases
such as “I will use the term ‘realist’ to mean…”
are useful in clarifying your use of concepts and
terminology. Phrases such as, “I will argue that…”, “I
will now show that…”, “I will give three examples…”,
“My second objection is…” or “My argument
has shown that…” are an extremely useful aid to
communicating the structure of your arguments and
your paper overall. Use “sign-posting” phrases like
these frequently in your papers in order to give your
reader a clear sense of where your argument is going at
all times (note that such sign-posting phrases are not
always formulated first-personally, e.g. “Smith offers
three main objections … Smith’s first objection is …
but it might be replied that … Smith’s second objection
is ….”
