Comparing Arguments in Discussions of Two Parliaments

Mare Koit

2022

Abstract

Estonian argument corpus includes verbatim records (in Estonian) of sessions held in the Parliament of Estonia (Riigikogu). Arguments used in discussions and inter-argument relations are annotated in the corpus. By using the corpus, argument structures (basic, convergent, divergent, linked, and hybrid) and inter-argument relations (rebuttal, attack, and support) are studied. For comparison, a discussion in the UK Parliament House of Commons is analysed. Similarities and differences are considered between arguments of both parliaments. Our further aim is extending the corpus in order to make it possible the automatic recognition of arguments in Estonian political texts and comparison of discussions in the Riigikogu with other parliaments and other languages.
