Truth-functional arguments are evaluated based on their validity (whether the conclusion logically follows from the premises) and soundness (whether the premises are true or not). Therefore, the evaluative language used should be valid/invalid and sound/unsound. The terms cogent and uncogent are used to evaluate non-truth-functional arguments, and the terms strong and weak are used to evaluate inductive arguments.
