Abstract We present a corpus comprising the first general election debate between Clinton and Trump (17,190 words) annotated with types of argument on the basis of the Periodic Table of Arguments. This extends the annotation of an existing corpus (97,999 words) of transcripts of television debates and associated reactions on the Reddit social media platform, annotated on the basis of Inference Anchoring Theory with relations of inference, conflict and rephrase, and their illocutionary discourse anchoring.
