5. Verbal Disagreements and Factual Disagreements

Disputes can arise about the meaning of language due to factors such as vagueness and ambiguity. Disagreements about the meaning of language are called verbal disputes. By contrast, disputes can also arise over facts, such as whether a statement accurately reflects a certain actual state of affairs. Disagreements about facts are called factual disputes. When dealing with disputes, you should first determine whether a dispute is verbal or factual. If the dispute is verbal, then you should attempt to determine whether it is a result of vagueness or ambiguity.

Indicate whether each of the following disputes is a factual dispute or a verbal dispute. If the dispute is a verbal dispute, then also indicate whether the dispute arises from vagueness or ambiguity. If the dispute is a factual dispute, answer "not applicable" for the second portion of each question.
