"To Purify the Dialect of the Tribe": Modernism and Language Reform

I. A. Richards criticized the centrality of persuasion in traditional rhetoric and developed a new philsophy of rhetoric with communication of meaning at its core. This article examines his philosophy of rhetoric in light of his communication diagrams and then suggests some implications for the rhetorical theorist, critic, and instructor.

I. A. Richards on rhetoric and criticism

The concern is to examine the structure and content of the aesthetic experience of adolescents with particular reference to its relationships with self-esteem. The focus is on the experience of the general population rather than artists, and includes reactions to everyday objects and events as well as to special creations. The literature review of mainly philosophers and critics revealed a diversity of emphasis on the weighting of components but following Aristotle, Dewey and subsequent writers, it was possible to extract sufficient common elements to specify defining characteristics that could form the basis of a conceptual model. The model served as a framework to generate a large pool of questionnaire items. A sample of 457 13-15 years old pupils completed one of two versions of the questionnaire. Correlation matrices and factor analyses were used to examine the structure and to ref= the questionnaire. This Aesthetic Experience Scale was refined still in the main study. Harter's Perceived Self-Competence Profile was first refined and then supplemented with a specially constructed Aesthetic Affordance Subseale and with Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale made up the measures of self-perception and self-evaluation. All instruments were administered to 652 13-15 years olds, representative of the major demographic groupings in Greece: gender, rural/urban, and socio-economic status. Subsidiary comparisons were possible of schools with and without art education and of schools with and without artistic productions. Results showed a general Aesthetic Experience Factor, which then differentiated in ways consistent with the structural model proposed. Relationships with self-esteem were positive only with the Rosenberg Scale and for girls on Harter's global self-worth. Within Harter's subscales the Aesthetic Affordance set of items cohered with each other and separated out from the other subscales which in turn behaved as they have done in previous research, except in one important respect. Physical Appearance did not emerge as a factor separate from Global Self-Worth, but that could be because the subscale items were all evaluative rather than descriptive. The demographic analysis pointed to greater aesthetic maturity of girls and the higher the socio-economic students, as indexed in the extent of differentiation and integration of experience. Art education was a significant influence for one sub-group only, and artistic performances not at all. These results suggest that the Aesthetic Affordance Subscale can be added to Harter's Profile and that both it and the Aesthetic Experience scale offer instruments for research into this generally neglected fields.

Aesthetic experience and self-esteem in adolescents

This research attempts to explore the aesthetic inputs of the Baghdadi House, which for many years has become a symbol of Iraqi architecture and its shape has evolved as a result of the skill of Iraqi sculptors and architects in the use of wood and bricks and the adaptation of these materials to give a special aesthetic to the Baghdadi House made it aesthetically sustainable. The problem of the research was the existence of a knowledge gap about the factors that contributed to enrich the details of the Baghdadi House to give it the required aesthetic sustainability. Therefore, the research adopted hypothesis (that the aesthetic of Baghdadi House results from the interaction of sustainability factors and local materials that enrich the details of the house among them in addition to that experience The Iraqi architecture added another aesthetic dimension to him) the research adopted the descriptive approach on the concept of beauty and the application of beauty levels on the elements of the Baghdadi House as well as adopted the analytical approach through the effective indicators on four different samples of houses The aim of the research is to know the aesthetic sustainability of the house by using local materials in the implementation of the Baghdadi. the results of research there is aesthetic sustainability through two indicators are architectural aesthetic and micro climate has given Interaction of the central courtyard with parts of the Baghdadi house

The role of aesthetic inputs in the sustainable Beauty of Baghdadi House

Several years ago an attempt was made to measure the beauty of the architectural design. The objective was to prepare the design for evaluation by a computer. It was found that such measurement was very complicated and requires much more research. Several more attempts were made to fill in ih" gup. but the total picture remained unclear. This paper attempts to draw a map for futuri work. The object of beauty in architecture depends on content and form. Content includes function and symbol. But the subject is complicated by the fact that beauty is subjective and changes according to viewer, time, and place. 86 ٢٠٠٢ زومت يف عبارلا ددعلا ةیرامعملا ةسدنھلل ةیقارعلا ةلجملا
