Throughout history, language has been botha unique characteristic of ethnicity and an entity fulfilling its core functions.

Argumentation is the process of justifying and expressing one’s ideas, positions,or perspectives. This process does not merely deal with simple yes/no questions that do not have adefinitive answer, but rather it requires the application of logic and evidence to support one’s stance oncontroversial issues.
