I.A. Richards discusses the two uses of language: the scientific use and the emotive use. The scientific use aims for precise and consistent communication of facts, while the emotive use conveys or evokes emotions in the reader. Richards argues that in the scientific use, references and logical relations are important, while in the emotive use truth and logic are less important than emotional connections between attitudes and references.

An Apology for Poetry[7] (also known as A Defence of Poesie and The Defence of Poetry) – Sidney wrote the Defence before 1583. It is generally believed that he was at least partly motivated by Stephen Gosson, a former playwright who dedicated his attack on the English stage, The School of Abuse, to Sidney in 1579, but Sidney primarily addresses more general objections to poetry, such as those of Plato. In his essay, Sidney integrates a number of classical and Italian precepts on fiction. The essence of his defence is that poetry, by combining the liveliness of history with the ethical focus of philosophy, is more effective than either history or philosophy in rousing its readers to virtue. The work also offers important comments on Edmund Spenser and the Elizabethan stage. from wikipidea

The concept of imagination in biographia literariaDayamani Surya
Samuel Taylor Coleridge in his Biographia Literature considered that the mind can be divided into two faculties called as imagination and fancy.
Imagination is further divided into two types namely Primary Imagination and Secondary Imagination.
Here is my Presentation as a part of my Academic activities of Sem-1 M.A . Submitted to Pro.Dr Dilip Barad , Department of English MK Bhavnagar University.
Aristotle's Poetics (Greek: Περὶ ποιητικῆς, Latin: De Poetica;[1] c. 335 BCE[2]) is the earliest surviving work of dramatic theory and the first extant philosophical treatise to focus on literary theory.[3]
In it, Aristotle offers an account of what he calls "poetry" (a term which in Greek literally means "making" and in this context includes drama—comedy, tragedy, and the satyr play—as well as lyric poetry and epic poetry).
Cleanth Brooks - The Language of ParadoxDilip Barad
This presentation is based on Cleanth Brooks's essay "The Language of Paradox,", wherein Cleanth Brooks emphasizes how the language of poetry is different from that of the sciences, claiming that he is interested in our seeing that the paradoxes spring from the very nature of the poet's language: “it is a language in which the connotations play as great a part as the denotations. And I do not mean that the connotations are important as supplying some sort of frill or trimming, something external to the real matter in hand. I mean that the poet does not use a notation at all--as a scientist may properly be said to do so. The poet, within limits, has to make up his language as he goes.”
The Preface to the Lyrical Ballads is an essay, composed by William Wordsworth, for the second edition of the poetry collection Lyrical Ballads, and then greatly expanded in the third edition of 1802. It has come to be seen as a de facto manifesto of the Romantic movement.
My Presentations on Overview of Culture and Anarchy written by Mathew Arnold.Culture and anarchy is a notorious philosophical work written by the celebrated Victorian poet and critic Mathew Arnold. This essay was first published in ‘Cornhill Magazine’ during 1867’-68.
when one communicates, he or she does not give any special attention to how he or she communicates. As a result, communication between parties is either diminished or lost altogether. Scholars have spent countless years analyzing human communication and have spent the same amount of time formulating theories that attempt to answer questions pertaining to how we communicate and why we choose the methods we do. One such scholar, I.A. Richards analyzed human communication and co-formulated a theory known as the “Theory of Meaning”. Ogden and Richards’ theory attempts to not only describe the approaches humans take when communicating, but also to understand how communication is “lost” when not done correctly.

Manoj Das An Incredible Bridge between Literature and Philosophyijtsrd
Attempts have been taken here to unveil the versatile virtuosity and artistry of Manoj Das especially in his literary attempts which walk with an incredible alliance with philosophy underneath the literary vesture. Apart from philosophical facet another significant dimension of his literature is ‘psychology', which has well been analyzed here in this article. His c onsciousness about history, psychology and philosophy makes his literature more special. Special care has been taken in order to unveil his art of arresting the attention of readers while reading his text and afterward. Manoj Das' literature is more refined and alert due to his second persona. It has been demonstrated here with some concrete proofs. He is simply a magician in telling tales. He discovers diamond in dust, life in lifeless and cultural consciousness in the thalli of inorganic and organic objects. Another major aspect of his literary approach is the psychological dimension which covers the psychology of the involved character as well as of the readers. In short, his writings have that much potency to arrest the attention of the readers of his story. Another thing with regard to this phenomenon is his ability to convince and kidnap the readers' mind magically with his literary style and approach. Shri Das is culturally, socially, aesthetically, politically, philosophically, psychologically, historically and above all from the humanitarian viewpoint a conspicuously conscious story teller of the time.

Idealism in S. Radha Krishnan: A Rhetorical InterpretationQUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan is widely known for his graceful and stylistic language. His speeches and literary prose are interspersed with a plethora of rhetorical devices and alaṃkāras like, anaphora, asyndeton, epigrams, rhetorical question, upamā, rūpaka, dīpaka, praṣna, metaphor and simile, to name a few. This article focuses on Radhakrishnan’s views on Idealism with special reference to the text An Idealist View of Life. This is an analysis of Radhakrishnan’s use of the above mentioned rhetorical devices to explicate and make accessible a philosophical concept like Idealism to his listeners and readers. Philosophy is a complex subject and generally beyond the grasp of lay audience, therefore, Radhakrishnan’s considerable use of the figures of speech in the promulgation of his ideas assumes significance.

2. I am BhumikaMahida
I am here because I love to give presentation
before you on the topic “I.A.Richard’stwo
uses ofthelanguage”.
Hello!
3. NAME : MAHIDA BHUMIKA PRAKASHBHAI
M A SEM – 2
ROLL NUMBER : 4
ENROLLMENT NUMBER :3069206420200021
TOPIC : I.A.Richard’s two uses of the language”
subject : ‘paper-109 Literary Theory & Criticism and
Indian Aesthetics’
5. I.A.RICHARD :
I.A. Richards, born in 1893, is one of the great critics
of the modern age, and has influenced a number
of critics on both sides of the Atlantic. He and T.S.
Eliot are pioneers in the field of New Criticism,
though they differ from each other in certain
important respects.
6. Richard , In his “Principles of
Literary Criticism” chapter 34, he
discusses the most neglected subject,
i.e. the theory of language and the
two uses of language.
7. According to I.A. Richards
language can be used in two
ways, i.e.
▪ the scientific use
and
▪ the emotive one
Let’s define…
10. Emotive use of language :
▪ Emotive Language is the type of language which
conveys or evokes an emotion in the mind of the
reader.
▪ Emotive language often aims to persuade the reader
or listener to share the writer or speaker’s point of
view, using language to stimulate an emotional
reaction.
11. According to Richard’s…
▪ Using words in emotive manner means using them for
the sake of attitudes and emotions which ensue.
▪ For example… In poetry, the word fire may denote ‘with
heart on fire’, where ‘on fire’ means ‘in an excited state’.
Instead of recalling the object, the word stands to evoke
an emotion.
12. Emotive language is
designed to tell you the
facts while influencing
you to adopt the
author’s opinion. Here
are examples of
emotive language…
16. This confusion occurs with the
use of other scientific terms in
different contexts as well. For
example, the common usage of
the word ‘plant’ generally refers
to a small, low growing shrub.
When the scientific term ‘ Plant
Kingdom’ is introduced to
students they often have
difficulty with the classification
encompassing very large trees or
small non-vascular mosses.
17. Another example is that the
word force is often used in
the context of power
relationships, for example,
“Ourparent forced us to
makeour bed.”
18. “In the scientificuse of
language,we areusually
matterof fact.All the activities
covered by this use require
undistortedreferencesand
absence of fiction.”
20. According to Richard…
In the scientific use of the language, the difference in
reference is fatal (a failure) but in the emotive
language it is not so.
In the scientific use of language, the references should
be correct and the relation of references should be
logical. In the emotive use of language, any truth or
logical arrangement is not necessary
21. The attitudes due to references should have their
emotional interconnection and this has often no
connection with logical relations of the facts
referred to…
22. Richards goes on to
examine different uses of
the word ‘truth’.
Let’s see this concept…
23. In the scientific use, the
referencesare true and
logical there is very little
involvement of arts.
Richards says that the
term ‘true’ should be
reserved for the scientific
use. But the emotive
power of the word is far
too great for ThiS.
24. So Richards goes
on to consider
the connotations
of the word
‘truth’ in
criticism. In
literary
criticism, the
common use is
‘acceptability’
or ‘probability’.
25. For example, Robinson Crusoe is true in
the sense of the acceptability of things
we are told, in the interest of the
narrative whether or not such a person
existed in real life is not relevant to the
‘truth’ of the novel.
26. Keats uses
‘truth’ in a
confused way.
He said, ‘What
the
imagination
seizes as
beauty must
be truth.”
27. So, In the last I want to say that
Richard tries to promote the idea of harmony
betweenscience and poetry …
We can conclude In short that The chief motifs of
the writer iS to establish the difference between the
language of science and language of art …
