Despite (1) scientific texts being inherently argumentative (Gilbert, 1976), (2) the existence of theoretical argumentative frameworks (Toulmin, 2003;Kirschner et al., 2015), and (3) a wide range of argument extraction models in other domains (e.g., debates or essays, see Palau and Moens (2009); , inter alia), there is still very little work on automatic argumentation mining from scientific literature.
there has been no work analyzing associations between argumentation and other rhetorical constructs in scientific writing, although such dependencies exist.
