In practical systems for analyzing argumentation in natural language texts, the AIF ontology is widely used, which is based on the compendium of argumentation schemes proposed by D. Walton. Each scheme in this compendium corresponds to a typical reasoning model and is a set of premises and a conclusion. In addition, the argumentation scheme can be supplied with a set of critical questions that allow one to judge whether the argument presented by the author is acceptable. Unfortunately, not all schemes in D. Walton's compendium contain critical questions, and the sets of critical questions provided are either incomplete or inaccurate. In this regard, a technique for automatically replenishing sets of critical questions using large language models and transforming them into AIF ontology schemes is proposed. Based on this technique, a list of 237 critical questions for 46 schemes formalized in the AIF ontology was generated. The proposed extension of the AIF ontology should increase the efficiency of its use for argumentative text markup and expand the scope of its application, in particular, to solve the problems of argumentative analysis of polemics in dialogic and polylogical texts.
