If we agree that a) parameters are part of the function signature, i.e. an integral part of the function declaration, and b) arguments are information that comes to the function from the outside, then we must eliminate confusion in the text. To simplify it: the arguments are passed, and the parameters take values from the arguments and, after argument's expression are evaluated, set values for their parameters. If so, there seem to be inconsistent places in the text where parameters are passed and functions take parameters rather than arguments or something like that
