argumentów

Argumentów is the genitive plural of the Polish noun argument, which denotes a reason or piece of evidence offered to support a claim. In Polish, this form is used to indicate possession or quantity, for example in phrases like brak argumentów, wiele argumentów, or warstwa argumentów. The plural genitive is common in academic, journalistic, and formal discourse.

In logic and rhetoric, an argument consists of premises (statements that provide support) and a conclusion (the claim being defended). Arguments can be deductive, where the conclusion follows with necessity from the premises, or inductive, where the conclusion is probable given the premises. Central notions include validity (the logical correctness of the inferential form) and soundness (validity plus true premises). Evaluating arguments involves examining relevance, sufficiency of premises, and the avoidance of fallacies, such as non sequiturs, ad hominem attacks, or circular reasoning.

Beyond pure logic, the term arguments also appears in everyday discourse and academic writing to refer to reasons presented in support of a position. In politics, philosophy, and science, well-constructed arguments rely on clear structure, evidence, and careful distinction between assumptions and conclusions. The plural form argumentów often occurs in discussions about the quantity or adequacy of reasons, for example: przedstawiono argumentów za i przeciw.

In computing and information technology, a related sense is the argument (or argument) passed to a program or function as input data. Polish technical language typically uses argumenty to denote such inputs, with argumentów appearing in phrases like liczba argumentów w wywołaniu programu.

Etymology traces argument to Latin argumentum, passing through French and other European languages, with lasting usage in Polish to describe reasoned discourse and evidence.
