In this paper, we investigate similarities between discourse and argumentation structures by aligning subtrees in a corpus containing both annotations.Contrary to previous works, we focus on comparing sub-structures and not only relation matches.Using data mining techniques, we show that discourse and argumentation most often align well, and the double annotation allows to derive a mapping between structures.Moreover, this approach enables the study of similarities between discourse structures and differences in their expressive power.
