DICTION MEANING
CLARITY AND SIMPLICITY
CONCISION Mejía Ruiz Edgar Quezada Montañez Stefany Diction meaning in its original primary meaning, refers to the writer´s or the speaker’s distinctive vocabulary choices and style of expression in a poem or story. A secondary, common meaning of diction means the distinctiveness of speech, the art of speaking so that each word is clearly Heard and understood to its fullest complexity and extremity and concerns pronunciation and tone rather than word choice and style. CLARITY People talk about good writing having clarity when it is precise, clean, and easy to understand. THE PROCESS OF COMMUNICATION STARTS WITH THE SENDER AND THUS THE SENDER HAS TO BE CLEAR BOTH IN THOUGHT AND EXPRESSION , IN ORDER TO COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY . CLARITY OF THOUGHT
Before communicating , the sender should have clear thought for which he should be clear in following three points :
What is objective of communication ?
What actual message is ?
Which is suitable medium for achieving the purpose ?
CLARITY OF EXPRESSION
The sender transmits the message through a medium to the
receiver , for which he has to encode the message in a way that it is. • Clear communication skills are important to everyone, and clarity isn't just about content and pronunciation. It's about caring for the listener and making sure they get the message. Failure to speak clearly has serious implications for your personal image and professional success. Clear communication will improve your speech, your career prospects and your relationships. Clarity is considered when we think about content, structuring our thoughts in a logical sequence and choosing the CLARITY right words. We even acknowledge the importance of things like projection, pronunciation and diction. But good communication skills require more than just language. You need more than just your mouth and your brains. SIMPLICITY IT IS THE NATURALITY OF THE STYLE THAT SEIZES IT FROM ANY AFFECTION OR REBUSCATION. BOTH IN GOOD CLOTHING AND SPEAKING OR WRITING, WE REMEMBER THAT MANY TIMES, LESS IS MORE. -Concision consists of formulating a thought with the least number of words, without subtracting clarity or precision. Using a language at the level of the listener or reader will give extra points. THANK YOU
