Abstract
Canargumentsand theirproperties influence thedevelopmentof issuepolarisation indebatesamong artificial agents? This paper presents an agent-based model of debates with logical constraints based on the theory of dialectical structures. Simulations on thismodel reveal that the exchange of arguments can drive polarisation evenwithout social influence, and that the usage of di erent argumentation strategies can influence the obtained levels of polarisation.
