Full Title: Foundations of the Language of Argumentation 

Date: 13-Sep-2016 - 13-Sep-2016
Location: Potsdam, Germany 
Contact Person: Manfred Stede
Meeting Email: stede at uni-potsdam.de

Linguistic Field(s): Pragmatics 

Call Deadline: 17-Jun-2016 

Meeting Description:

The goal of this workshop is to promote the study of argumentation in natural
language, be it in spoken dialogue, written monologue, or multilogue in social
media. We aim on the one hand for a deeper understanding of how people use
language to exchange arguments, and on the other hand to address the
linguistic foundations of automatic argument mining techniques in various
types of media.

Call for Papers:

Topics of interest include:

- Features that distinguish argumentative language from that of other text
types (e.g., narrative, descriptive)
- Features that characterize certain portions of argumentation (stances,
justifications, objections, etc.)
- Linguistic expression of particular argumentation schemes
- Modes of argumentation: how is it realized in different media, genres, or
domains
- Compiling corpora of argumentative language, and developing analysis methods
for relevant features to be annotated
- Relations between the language of argumentation and areas of linguistic
pragmatics, such as discourse structure, explanation, persuasion, authority,
ethos and rationality
- Contrastive (cross-linguistic) studies of the dimensions described above
- Automatic generation of arguments in natural language, e.g. from underlying
knowledge bases

Submission modalities:

We invite papers which present completed research, including new approaches,
experimental results, resources and/or techniques. The maximum length of the
