An Empirical Study of the Influence of Argument Conciseness on Argument Effectiveness

We have also developed an evaluation framework in which the effectiveness of evaluative arguments can be measured with real users. This paper presents the results of a formal experiment we have performed in our framework to verify the influence of argument conciseness on argument effectiveness
