Providing explanations in defeasible argumentation is an im- portant topic that has not received as much attention as it deserves. In this work we address the problem of equipping an implemented argu- mentation system with explanation capabilities. We will focus on an argumentation reasoning system, called Defeasible Logic Programming, which is based on a dialectical proof procedure, and in that context we will introduce dialectical explanations.
