displaying unevaluated arguments

Greetings:

Is there a simple way to create the string form of an argument passed 
to a function/module? For instance, let

f[x_] := Module[ Some Mathematica Code... .];

Assume that y is defined as a list of numbers. If I evaluate

   f[{y^2,Sin[y],Log[y],Map[Cos[#]&,y]}], 

I would like to get back   "{y^2,Sin[y],Log[y],Map[Cos[#]&,y]}" ,
rather than the evaluated numerical values. When I create a function, 
HoldForm does not seem to work. The arguement is always evaluated
first.

Thanks

-Mark
