This study reports a corpus-based analysis on the verb ARGUE in written texts. By adopting Frame Semantics, we analyzed 1385 instances from the corpus and investigated (a) the distribution of each semantic frame; (b) the patterns occurred in each semantic frame; and (c) the topics argued over by arguers. The study presents the distribution of frames in written texts and demonstrates the findings in terms of the common or unique patterns in each frame. In addition, some common topics are found among arguers.
