Building argumentative adpositional trees : Towards a high-precision method for reconstructing arguments in natural language

There is a need for a tool for reconstructing arguments that describes their linguistic elements with high precision and at the same time identifies their type. In this paper, we prepare the ground for developing such a tool by introducing the notion of ‘argumentative adpositional tree’. The notion is based on a combination of the linguistic representation framework of Constructive Adpositional Grammars (CxAdGrams) and the argument classification framework of the Periodic Table of Arguments (PTA).
