Diction

Step-by-step explanation:

A writer's attitude toward his or her subject. A writer can communicate tone through diction, choice of details, and direct statements of his or her position. A writer's or speaker's choice of words is called Diction. Diction includes both vocabulary (individual words) and syntax (the order or arrangement of words)
