  abstract  = {For analyzing argumentative text, we propose to study the ‘depth’ of
	argumentation as one important component, which we distinguish from argument
	quality. In a pilot study with German newspaper commentary texts, we asked
	students to rate the degree of argumentativeness, and then looked for
	correlations with features of the annotated argumentation structure and the
	rhetorical structure (in terms of RST). The results indicate that the human
	judgements correlate with our operationalization of depth and with certain
	structural features of RST trees.},
