This article has shown that diction by the author is a lynchpin in
setting up the tone for any work an author creates. It starts by defining what exactly
diction is: its various constituents being vocabulary, syntax, and formality-and it has
highlighted how these choices influence the emotional response a reader will have with
the text. The article discusses how each style of language-formal, informal, colloquial,
concrete, abstract, and poetic-affects the mood and tone of a piece of writing. He also
explores how diction operates across genres, from drama to poetry, showing its
versatility in the conveyance of atmosphere and emotion.
