Abstract
Since the writing of Ecclesiastes and since the 5th‐century B.C. Greeks speculated about kairos, to prepon, and rhetoric, men have believed that “timing” is part of that which makes rhetorical discourse appropriate to an occasion and audience. Little systematic study of the subject has led the author to explore the presuppositions for, a definition of, and the social and psychological bases undergirding our sense of “rhetorical timing.”Keywords
