This paper presents on-going work on analyzing strategies for argumentation via automatic means, using public data from a German arbitration. In addition to a thorough linguistic analysis of the relevant parameters, we provide a computational implementation that automatically annotates the corpus with respect to pragmatically relevant features. The annotated data is used in a visual analysis system which shows overall patterns of the discourse as well as detailed views on the data.
