research on pre-task planning has revealed that planned conditions have produced more fluent and complex language than unplanned conditions. to date, most of these studies have investigated the effects of individual planning on language production while collaborative planning has received scant attention. to determine the effects of pre-task planning on second language written production, the p...

Natural language generation needs an input language whose expressive power is sufficient for generating texts with the level of quality desired by various NLP applications. In oar generator, DIOGENES(e.g., Nirenburg et al., 1989), we use the text meaning representation language TAMERLAN(Nirenburg and Defrise, 1989 and forthcoming). Expressions in this language are used as input by the DIOGENES ...

the present research aimed to examine the arguments and persuasion in the poems attributed to imam hussein's:therefore his word started to speak of the literal and idiomatic meaning of persuasion and has become increasingly important to discussion and study of  reasoning and persuasion in poems and its performance. it also to been studied main issues , in which attempts to accompany the au...

Essay stance classification, the task of determining how much an essay’s author agrees with a given proposition, is an important yet under-investigated subtask in understanding an argumentative essay’s overall content. We introduce a new corpus of argumentative student essays annotated with stance information and propose a computational model for automatically predicting essay stance. In an eva...

Resum Argumentative debates are a powerful tool for resolving conflicts and reaching agreements in open environments such as on-line communities. Here we introduce an argumentation framework to structure argumentative debates. Our framework represents the arguments issued by the participants involved in a debate, the (attack and defence) relationships between them, as well as participants? opin...

Argumentation skills of secondary school students were evaluated in Finland (n=290), France (n=54), and England (n=41). The data were collected from 4 tasks comprising 7 variables. The results indicated that most of the students had correctly justified arguments and conclusions, and composed clear claims and relevant arguments. However, many students had difficulties in recognising the main cla...

Developing argumentation-based persuasive agents that leverage human argumentative techniques is an open challenge in the computational argumentation field. In this paper, we propose a computational perspective on the psychological techniques people tend to follow during persuasion interactions drawing on psychological evidence. We focus on four well-established psychological techniques, model ...

We advocate a relation based approach to Argumentation Mining. Our focus lies on the extraction of argumentative relations instead of the identification of arguments, themselves. By classifying pairs of sentences according to the relation that holds between them we are able to identify sentences that may be factual when considered in isolation, but carry argumentative meaning when read in conte...
