In this paper, we present the architecture our argumentative dialogue system that can hold discussions with users by using large-scale argumentation structures. The system can pinpoint argumentation nodes asserted by user utterances and make supportive utterances or rebuttals. The system can be useful for decision-making support as well as promoting better mutual understanding between humans and systems.
