👉 The term "restates" is used in linguistics and philosophy to refer to a change or modification of an original statement, argument, or idea. It can be seen as a way to rephrase something, modify it, or convey its meaning more clearly. In other words, restating involves changing the perspective or wording of a sentence or argument so that it is understood in a different manner, often by someone who has previously heard the original statement or argument but now seeks to understand or refine it
