* - author=Mark Sainsbury|title=Logical Forms — An Introduction to Philosophical Logic|edition=2nd|publisher=Blackwell Publishing|chapter=1|section=§8|isbn=978-0-63121-679-7|page=35|passage=   Consider the argument:
   15) I am hungry; therefore I am hungry.
Intuitively this should count as valid. But suppose we thought of the components of arguments as sentences, and suppose we imagine the context shifting between the utterance of the premise and the utterance of the conclusion. Suppose you are hungry and utter the premise, and I am not hungry and utter the conclusion. Then we would have a true premise and a false conclusion, so the argument would not be valid. Clearly we need to avoid such problems, and introducing the notion of a proposition, in the style of this section, is one way of doing so.

The independent variable of a function.

A value, or reference to a value, passed to a function.

Parameters are like labeled fillable blanks used to define a function whereas arguments are passed to a function when calling it, filling in those blanks.

A parameter in a function definition; an actual_parameter, as opposed to a formal_parameter.

Any of the phrases that bears a syntactic connection to the verb of a clause.

Usage notes

formal parameter in a function definition

Some authors regard use of "argument" to mean "formal parameter" to be imprecise, preferring that argument refers only to the value that is used to instantiate the parameter at runtime, while parameter refers only to the name in the function definition that will be instantiated.
