چکیده
How to model relevance in argumentation is an important problem for informal logic. Dialectical relcvance is determined by the use of an argument for some purpose in different types of dialogue, according to the ncw dialectic. A central type of dialogue is persuasion dialogue in which one participant uses rational argumentation to try to get the other participant to accept a designated proposition. In this paper, a method for judging relevance in persuasion dialogue is presented. The method is based on using the technique of argument diagramming. Resume: L'explication de la pertinence dans l'argumentation est un probleme important de la logique non formelle. Selon la nouvelle dialectique, la pertinence dialectique se delimite par I'usage et Ie but d 'un argument dans differents types de dialogue. Un exemple principal de ceux-ci est Ie dialogue de persuasion dans lequel on emploie l'argumentation rationnel Ie pour convaincre une autre personne d'accepter une proposition particuliere. Dans cet article on emploie la technique des diagrammes des arguments pour decrire une methode d'evaluer la pertinence dans les dialogues de persuasion.

Argumentation theory provides foundations for distributed nonmonotonic reasoning in the form of inter-agent dialogues.
