Spontaneous speech was elicited from a sample of sixty three to eight year old children equally divided by age and sex. Recordings were analyzed for nine categories of hesitation phenomena. Retest recordings were made and analyzed to assess temporal stability of the hesitation phenomena. Results showed that the children most often used “ah” phenomena and unfilled pauses as do adults. “Ah” phenomena showed a significant increase with age, especially between five and six among the females. Although no significant differences appeared between the test and retest data, females did decrease their unfilled pauses significantly with time. Stuttering showed significant peaks at ages three, seven, and eight.

The 1930s Dust Bowl has been accepted as the worst environmental disaster in United States history. Analysis of the rhetoric of agricultural conservationists which focuses on this issue reveals that its potential for promoting environmentally sound land‐use practices was limited. This essay relies on Kenneth Burke's theory of identification and pentadic ratios to identify the hierarchy of motives associated with land use. I argue that the vulnerability of conservation efforts to competing forces was largely a function of that hierarchy and suggests that an action‐oriented perspective would be more conducive to responsible land use.

The incredibly complex Cotton Mather, whose career bridged the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, is a rewarding subject for the study of rhetorical genre. He was both the last major conserver of hallowed Puritan tradition and the harbinger of rapid change, not only in Puritan theology but also in Puritan rhetorical theory and practice. Mather's Companion for Communicants exemplifies the transitional nature of his thinking and preaching, as well as the “fundamental truth” of rhetorical genre: the rhetoric of any individual or social movement—like the person himself, or the movement itself—is a becoming, not a being.

Cicero's analysis of genre in Book II of De oratore is a subtle effort to balance and synthesize the conflicting theoretical positions of Isocrates and Aristotle. In the dialogue, Cicero relies on ironic eloquence to explain the nature of eloquence, and, through this merger of theory and practice, the rival conceptions of oratory as systematic art and synthetic practice coalesce. As Cicero presents it, the generic frame is only a convenient fiction incapable of representing the data of the art. Through his effort to understand competing theoretical systems, Cicero identifies an issue of abiding concern—the opposition between a perspective grounded in practice and a perspective oriented toward the abstract principles that define rhetoric as a coherent realm of experience.

The inaugural address George Washington delivered on April 30, 1789, was shaped above all by his personal beliefs and by his view of the rhetorical situation as he assumed the presidency. His response to that situation, however, appears to have been modulated by a set of generic constraints derived from the rhetoric of office‐taking, from the inaugural speeches of Virginia's colonial governors, and, perhaps, from the accession speeches of eighteenth‐century British monarchs. Seen in this way, the first presidential inaugural emerges as a blend of the old and the new, as a product of personal considerations, situational constraints, and rhetorical customs.

This essay compares the Encomium of Helen by Gorgias and the Helen of Isocrates in order to show how epideictic rhetoric in general and the encomium in particular were conceived at the beginning of the history of rhetoric. The analysis suggests that during the late fifth and early fourth centuries B.C., genres were not rigid molds to be used mechanically but normative types sufficiently stable to warrant observance and sufficiently elastic to admit of varied treatment.

The Speech on the Address of Thanks for the King's Speech, the so‐called “Speech from the Throne,” was not strictly a genre, perhaps, or even a subgenre of parliamentary usage in the eighteenth century. It had few givens in form or substance, but it served to maintain formal submission of the Parliament to the Crown, and to preserve the idiom, at least, of the Parliament, and especially the House of Commons, as the loyal servant of the Crown in promoting the welfare of the Kingdom. Like other rules and traditions of the House of Commons, the ritual of the Speech from the Throne, the Address of Thanks, and the debate on the Address can be seen as helping to stabilize the Government at a time when the revolutionary fervor of French republicanism seemed to threaten traditional British constitutional democracy.

An analysis of nineteenth‐century discourse classifications, together with the discourse “types” presented by classical pedagogy, helps to explain what was involved in the transformation of rhetoric into composition as it is taught in the American college curriculum. The difference between rhetoric and composition is in essence the difference between social action and academic artifact; this difference is analogous to the difference between rhetorical genre and compositional mode. Although formalism dominates pedagogy and classroom practice invites formalist reduction of social knowledge, genre theory invites us to look to the rhetorical situation the student is actually in and the rhetorical situations we want students to learn how to handle.
