Choosing a Level of Diction

Choosing the appropriate level of diction depends on two things: Audience and Purpose.

First, decide for whom you're writing. For example, you probably wouldn’t say, "I am disinclined to attend your social gathering," to a friend in an e-mail. Likewise it would be equally inappropriate to use the phrase, "This guy was like" in a letter of application to a business.

Choosing a Level of Diction, Part 2

Second, determine your purpose. Some possible purposes may be to inform, to persuade, to illustrate, to analyze, or to entertain. For each of these purposes, you may choose to use a different level of diction. For example, in a persuasive paper, you would want to use confident and non-biased word choice to strengthen your argument.
