i am writing an essay on fitzgerald's "babylon revisited" and i have to give examples of patterns of diction in the story. the teacher explained diction, but i would like a better defenition and examples please!
Here are some websites that have good information and some examples:

Be sure to keep scrolling down and read as many of these definitions, explanations, and examples as possible.

Another way to consider diction is this. Which would you conclude is the more formal level of language?
-- Who tossed that guy in the clink?
-- Who arrested that man?
