The Big Picture Let’s answer the big picture questions for Boyd.

Describing Relationships Between Texts Academic writing requires that you build arguments using multiple texts. To do this effectively, you will want to describe the relationships between these different texts. We will go over these big five ways: extend, complicate, qualify, challenge, and illustrate.

Extend When a source advances, develops, expands, or take further some element of an existing argument, we say that the source extends an argument. Extending an argument involves presenting additional evidence or reasons that are in line with the original argument but go beyond it.

Complicate When a source presents evidence, arguments or claims that are at odds with an author’s position, suggesting that the position needs to be qualified, we say that one text complicates another.

Qualify When a source presents evidence/claims that suggest an author’s argument goes too far, is too strong, or overgeneralizes, we say it qualifies the author’s argument. When a source limits the scope or extent of claims in an argument, we say that the source qualifies the argument.

Challenge When a source directly contradicts or challenges an author’s position.

Illustrate When a source provides examples, additional evidence, cases or arguments that help explain a position we say that the source illustrates an argument.
