Argument Mining (AM) is a relatively recent discipline, which concentrates on extracting claims or premises from discourses, and inferring their structures. However, many existing works do not consider micro-level AM studies on discussion threads sufficiently. In this paper, we tackle AM for discussion threads. Our main contributions are follows: (1) A novel combination scheme focusing on micro-level inner-and inter-post schemes for a discussion thread. (2) Annotation of large-scale civic discussion threads with the scheme. (3) Parallel constrained pointer architecture (PCPA), a novel end-to-end technique to discriminate sentence types, inner-post relations, and interpost interactions simultaneously. 1 The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed model shows better accuracy in terms of relations extraction, in comparison to existing state-of-the-art models.

“…The third step was to analyse how parenthood, gender, warmth, and competence were negotiated in the groups. Here, a brief version of the conversational argument coding scheme was applied (Canary & Seibold, 2010;Meyers & Brashers, 2010). This scheme has previously been used successfully in a similar context (Löfstrand, 2015).…”

“…In this pursuit, the study attempted to apply the stereotype content model (Cuddy et al, 2008) in order to see if the discursive content centred on the dimensions of warmth and competence. Furthermore, a conversational analysis we was applied (Canary & Seibold, 2010;Meyers & Brashers, 2010) in order to investigate how different discourses are negotiated within groups. This model penetrates the various components that build up an argumentative conversation.…”

“What about the child issue?” Group negotiations of gender and parenthood contracts in recruitment situations

Men and women becoming parents are supposed to have equal opportunities in working life. However, inequality and discrimination are not easily avoided. The aim of this study was to investigate how argumentation related to parenthood and careers takes form in group discussions of a fictional recruitment situation, and how stereotypes such as competence and warmth are manifested in such discussions. Thirty-five ad-hoc groups of university students were asked to make a choice between three candidates for a consultancy position. The first two candidates were a man and a woman, while the third alternately was described either as a man or a woman described as having a newborn child. Parenthood was sometimes seen as reducing competence, but it was more often viewed as adding to competence. Parenthood was also considered to add warmth to the organization. Interestingly, all groups avoided relating the parenthood issue to gender. Three conversation patterns were found, differing in the amount of elaboration of the topic of parenthood and work. It was concluded that the most elaborated kind seems to foster a situation where implicit norms are made visible more easily.

“…Each online discussion was analyzed with the CACS. Using the coding procedures (Meyers & Brashers, 2010; Meyers & Seibold, 2012) we identified the general issues and used the prior post in each discussion to interpret the sampled posts. Each post was unitized into thought units that were categorized into types of argument acts: potential arguables, reasoning activities, convergence-seeking acts, disagreement-relevant acts, and delimitors.…”

Conversation argument theory is used to analyze seven online discussions of colorism, a form of skin tone prejudice. Discussants’ comments (N = 587) expressed ad hominem acts (17%), reasoning activities (59%) and delimitors (e.g., addressed objections, 37%). Unlike general forums confrontation-initiated forums had more ad hominem acts. Posts with compared to posts without ad hominem acts had fewer reasoning activities and delimitors. General colorism forums were the most civil and developed, findings that have implications for designing online forums.
