abstract |
Presentation of an argument can take many different forms ranging from a monologue
to advanced graphics and diagrams. This paper investigates the presentation of one
or more arguments in the form of a fictive dialogue. This technique was already employed
by Plato, who used fictive conversations between Socrates and his contemporaries to
put his arguments forward. Ever since, there have been influential authors – including
Desiderius Erasmus, Sir Thomas More and Mark Twain – that have used dialogue in this
way. In this paper, we define the notion of a fictive dialogue, motivate it is as
a topic for investigation, and present a qualitative and quantitative study of five
fictive dialogues by well-known authors. We conclude by indicating how our preliminary
and ongoing investigations may inform the development of systems that automatically
generate argumentative fictive dialogue. |
