if it any, info from my textbook:
term
has no structural parts. it is a basic unit of meaning.
answers the question what is.
terms are either clear or unclear.
propositions
has two structural parts: the subject term and the predicate term.
the subject term is what you're talking about.
the predicate term is what you say about the subject.
a proposition answers the question whether it is.
propositions are either true or false.
arguments
has two structural parts: the premises and the conclusion.
the premises are the propositions that are assumed. they are the reasons or evidence for the conclusion.
the conclusion is the proposition that you are trying to prove.
arguments answer the question why it is.
