In argumentative political speech, the way an issue is framed may indicate the unstated assumptions of the argument and hence the ideological position of the speaker. Our goal is to use and extend our prior work on discourse parsing and the identification of argumentation schemes to identify specific instances of issue framing and, more generally, ideological positions as they are expressed in text. We are using annotated historical and contemporary proceedings of the British, Canadian, and Dutch parliaments, looking in particular at speech on the topic of immigration.
