Tone and the meaning of words are related by bouncing off of each other. Your tone of voice expresses your attitude and how you are feeling as you speak and so does actual words being spoken.

Tone, in literature or written texts, expresses the author’s attitude towards the topic that is being developed. Thus, the meaning of words plays a fundamental role when writing, since the choice of words will give the reader a hint about the attitude that the writer is trying to imply. That is to say, certain words in the text will imply if the author is being sarcastic, dramatic, formal or informal, etc.
