One key aspect of natural argument is the order in which components are presented. This is in part responsible for both the coherency and persuasive effect of an argument. One means of effecting such ordering is proposed, and an overview is provided of the various classes of ordering heuristics. These heuristics are based upon Insights offered by rhetoric texts •. psychlogical research, and a corpus study. Fmally, It is demonstrated that such an approach can also contribute to the generation of surface textual features including formatting, punctuation and clue words.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/148","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/0148.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/148.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/bibtex/148","volume":{"slug":"1997","title":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1997","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/","year":1997,"location":"Nagoya, Japan","dates":"","editors":"Martha E.
