Abstract

This paper proposes a formal framework for argumentative dialogue systems with the possibility of counterargument. The framework allows for claiming, challenging, retracting and conceding propositions. It also allows for exchanging arguments and counterarguments for propo-sitions, by incorporating argument games for nonmonotonic logics. A key element of the framework is a precise definition of the notion of relevance of a move, which enables flexible yet well-behaved protocols.
