Abstract

The paper aims to present the software system Araucaria-PL which is the only Polish tool designed to teach argumentation theory. It is developed on the basis of Araucaria by Reed and Rowe and extended with a module capturing persuasive aspects of argumentation. The tool has been used to create a Polish online corpus of analyzed argumentation ArgDB-pl. Moreover, the paper presents the preliminary study of usefulness of Araucaria-PL for teaching about argument structures and schemes at the standard Polish courses of logic and rhetoric.
