    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for

      ?

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Many OT terms overlap semantically; labeling distinct words versus synonymous variants involves subjective scholarly judgment calls.
      ?
