  text: "This study aims to investigate the linguistic differences between an argumentation
    referring to a potential future action (prospective argumentation) and one justifying
    a past action (retrospective argumentation) in the parliamentary arena. It is
    based on the analysis of German and French speeches taken from the protocols of
    the plenary sessions of the European Parliament.
\r\nIn a plenary session,
    parliamentary votes are preceded by a general debate. During this debate, speakers
    may give reasons supporting their own choice in an upcoming vote, but they may
    also try to persuade other Members of Parliament to vote the same way. This argumentation
    is prospective. After the vote, Members may give an oral or written explanation
    of vote designed to justify their decision. The argumentative orientation in this
    case is retrospective. In an exemplary approach, 50 speeches per language (German/French)
    and communication situation (prospective/retrospective) will be analyzed. The
    study argues that the macrostructure of the speeches is influenced by the orientation
    of the conclusion: In a prospective argumentation, speakers tend to first present
    their arguments before coming up with their conclusion, the conclusion being a
    declaration of one’s own intent to vote or a recommendation for other Members
    of Parliament. In a prototypical explanation of vote, the conclusion precedes
    the arguments. Special attention is given to the analysis of argument and conclusion
    markers. The study tries to show that conclusion markers are relatively more frequent
    in prospective argumentation, while retrospective argumentation makes broader
    use of argument markers."
