(2020) “Representing second-order arguments with Adpositional Argumentation (AdArg)” by Gobbo, F. & Wagemans, J.H.M.

This paper extends a high-precision method for representing ‘first-order’ arguments to the linguistically and pragmatically more complex ‘second-order’ arguments (such as the argument from authority). It thereby contributes to the further development of Adpositional Argumentation (AdArg), an approach to representing argumentative discourse with applications in corpus linguistics and computational argumentation that combines Gobbo and Benini’s linguistic representation framework of Constructive Adpositional Grammars (CxAdGrams) and Wagemans’ argument categorisation framework of the Periodic Table of Arguments (PTA).

COST Action CA17132

Providing and criticising reasons is indispensable to achieve sound public policy that commands the support of both citizens and stakeholders. This need is now widely acknowledged in the recent literature and key EU documents, which highlight the perils of populist discourse and policies.
