Multiple Subarguments in Logic, Argumentation, Rhetoric and Text Generation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A summary is provided of the problems of representing, determining generating and arranging disjunct multiple subarguments in several fields, including formal systems in uncertain domains, informal logic accounts of argument structure, rhetorical systems for maximising persuasive effect, and the automatic generation of persuasive discourse. Drawing upon the insights, problems, and partial solutions of these fields, a theory of subargument construction and organisation is presented, and is set in a framework for generating natural language argument.

Towards a Logic-Based Theory of Argumentation
There are a number of frameworks for modelling argumentation in logic. They incorporate formal representation of individual arguments and techniques for comparing conflicting arguments. In these frameworks, if there are a number of arguments for and against a particular conclusion, an aggregation function determines whether the conclusion is taken to hold. We propose a generalization of these f...
متن کاملFormalization and logical properties of the Maximal Ideal Recursive Semantics for Weighted Defeasible Logic Programming
Possibilistic Defeasible Logic Programming (P-DeLP) is a logic programming framework which combines features from argumentation theory and logic programming, in which defeasible rules are attached with weights expressing their relative belief or preference strength. In P-DeLP a conclusion succeeds if there exists an argument that entails the conclusion and this argument is found to be undefeate...
متن کاملLaw, Logic, Rhetoric: A Procedural Model of Legal Argumentation
Legal argumentation can be modeled using logic, but in this chapter it is claimed that logic alone does not suffice. A model should also take the rhetoric nature of legal argumentation into account. DiaLaw is such a model: a formal, procedural model in which the logical and rhetorical aspects of argumentation are combined. The core of this chapter consists of a description of the basic concepts...
متن کاملTowards segment-based recognition of argumentation structure in short texts
Despite recent advances in discourse parsing and causality detection, the automatic recognition of argumentation structure of authentic texts is still a very challenging task. To approach this problem, we collected a small corpus of German microtexts in a text generation experiment, resulting in texts that are authentic but of controlled linguistic and rhetoric complexity. We show that trained ...
متن کاملThe Logic of Evaluation
A sketch of the arguments for adding the logic of evaluation to the areas of argumentation that have been partly mapped and are worth further work by workers in rhetoric, argumentation, communication, critical thinking, and informal logic. Brief coverage of: (i) the arguments that there cannot be any legitimate logic of evaluation; of (ii) the nature of evaluation (conceptions and misconception...
