Syn : {
Diction }, {
Style }, {
Phraseology }.
Usage :
Style relates both to language and thought ;
diction ,
to language only ;
phraseology ,
to the mechanical structure of sentences ,
or the mode in which they are phrased .
The style of Burke was enriched with all the higher graces of composition ;
his diction was varied and copious ;
his phraseology ,
at times ,
was careless and cumbersome . "
Diction is a general term applicable alike to a single sentence or a connected composition .
Errors in grammar ,
false construction ,
a confused disposition of words ,
or an improper application of them ,
constitute bad diction ;
but the niceties ,
the elegancies ,
the peculiarities ,
and the beauties of composition ,
which mark the genius and talent of the writer ,
are what is comprehended under the name of style ." --
Crabb .
