Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 11 AIL 1040 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Diction, Syntax, Register
Captions available
The idea
Three terms describe a style: diction is word choice, syntax is sentence construction, register is the level of formality. The glossary defines none of them. A style question is answered by naming which of the three is doing the work in the quoted lines.
In practice
Word choice, sentence shape, formality.
Where people slip
All three absent from the glossary.
