Language Resources for Studying Argument

Abstract

This paper describes the development of a written corpus of argumentative reasoning.Arguments in the corpus have been analysed using state of the art techniques from argumentation theory and have been marked up using an open, reusable markup language.A number of the key challenges enountered during the process are explored, and preliminary observations about features such as intercoder reliability and corpus statistics are discussed.In addition, several examples are offered of how this kind of language resource can be used in linguistic, computational and philosophical research, and in particular, how the corpus has been used to initiate a programme investigating the automatic detection of argumentative srtucture.
