@AutonomousTacticalTheory The reason it is not an argument is this: "Human communication is a universal phenomenon that has existed across different civilizations over time." would be the conclusion; however the other sentence; "Linguists have conducted many comparative analyses of traditional languages from various regions and eras." does nothing to support that human communication is a universal phenomenon. Simply because analyses of traditional languages exists does not make communication a universal phenomenon. If the passage included something from the study such as all known civilizations throughout history have had formal ways of communicating that share some of the same fundamental roots as all other civilizations from the earliest known times to the modern day, then that would be support for the conclusion that human communication is a universal phenomenon; however it does not say any of those things.
I hope that helps a little. :)
