What is the selection of particular words to convey tone and voice called? word choice word editing word revising word style.

dusya [7]

The intentional selection and arrangement of a set of words in such a way that it communicates a predetermined tonality and voice is called Word Style. (D)

Word style speaks to how a story or information is conveyed. When words are selected and arranged in a particular way, they can affect the impression that the reader gets.

Skilled writers use this to achieve the full expression of their imagination and to tell the story exactly as they have experienced it or as they intend for the reader to perceive it.

Word Style is also useful for tailoring the same message to suit different audiences. One key principle is consistency. Altering Word Styles within the same document can be very distracting and reduce the veracity of the writ.
