Abstract:
Supporting a human debate by logical reasoning fa- cilities is a long-term research goal. Support comprises evidence about argumentative accuracy, detection of inconsistencies, and exposition of acceptable policy positions. This paper elaborates the role and embedding of argumentative utterances, through the use of linguistic tools, which address various aspects of the semantics of natural language. In addition, long-term issues, such as uncovering parts of the semantic content of arguments and its use for reasoning purposes are discussed.
