Stephenson\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis project focuses on the classical Greek rhetorical construct \u003ci\u003ekairos\u003c\/i\u003e, generally translated as right timing and due measure. Classical Greek scholars positioned \u003ci\u003ekairos\u003c\/i\u003e as a symbolic tool used by rhetoricians during the production of oral discourse. Modern rhetorical scholars have appropriated \u003ci\u003ekairos\u003c\/i\u003e, employing it as a tool for the \u003ci\u003epost hoc\u003c\/i\u003e evaluation of printlinguistic text. However, these contemporary scholars have failed to support either theoretically or empirically their appropriation of the construct. Etymological studies of the word suggest that \u003ci\u003ekairos\u003c\/i\u003e was associated initially with archery and weaving and denoted a physical space. As used by early rhetoricians, \u003ci\u003ekairos\u003c\/i\u003e lost its spatial denotation and became associated exclusively with the production of oral discourse. \u003ci\u003eKairos\u003c\/i\u003e also figures prominently in other disciplines, such as historical studies, psychotherapy, and theology, where it remains associated with non-rhetorical domains of human performance. Two theoretical arguments were developed from cultural-historical psychology and cognitive psychology, which suggest that a \u003ci\u003ekairos\u003c\/i\u003e of general human performance develops before a \u003ci\u003ekairos\u003c\/i\u003e of rhetorical performance. These arguments also suggest that an understanding of \u003ci\u003ekairos\u003c\/i\u003e is used during the production of written text. Three case studies of journalists revealed \u003ci\u003ekairos\u003c\/i\u003e was utilized during the production of text. The journalists operated with three distinct models of kairos-a standard external model, a durable external model, and an internal model-during their production (but not evaluation) of printlinguistic text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHunter W.
