Before revision:  We start with an annotation study with linguistic experts and crowd workers, resulting in the first large-scale English corpus annotated with theory-based argument quality scores, dubbed AQCorpus. Next, we propose the first computational approaches to theory-based argument quality assessment, which can serve as strong baselines for future work.
