Meaning of diction :
diction – Related to style, diction refers to the writer’s word choices, especially with regard to their correctness, clearness, or effectiveness. You should be able to describe an author’s diction (for example, formal or informal, ornate or plain) and understand the ways in which diction can complement the author’s purpose. Diction, combined with syntax, figurative language, literary devices, etc., creates an author’s style. The type of diction of a story told from the point of view of an inner-city child (see Toni Cade Bambara’s “The Lesson”) will differ markedly and dramatically from a similar story told from the point of view of a cosmopolitan lawyer (as in Herman Melville’s “Bartleby the Scrivener”). (Types of diction: Archaic words, colloquialisms, jargon, profanity, slang, trite expressions, vulgarity.)
For the term diction may also exist other definitions and meanings, the meaning and definition indicated above are indicative not be used for medical and legal or special purposes.
