This paper introduces a new class called hang yourself (HY) arguments into the theory of defeasible argumentation. The novelty of such arguments is that they are inherently destruc- tive: they cannot be used to support conclusions but only to attack other arguments. In this paper it is described what these arguments are, how they can be formalized, and what the formal consequences are of adding them to a logic for defeasible argumentation. In this paper, we examine one particular form of argu- ments that until now has received little attention in the field of defeasible logic and formal dialogues. In order to illus- trate this form of arguments, a few informal examples are given in section . It is also shown that a formalization of the examples in existing systems can result in an outcome that is different than what one would expect based on intuitive grounds. In section , a new kind of formal argument (which we call HY-arguments) is introduced, and it is shown that the resulting formalism properly deals with the examples of section . In section , some of the formal properties of the resulting system are given. |
