dissertations, case studies, and research paper.

STYLE IN ACADEMIC PAPERS

Diction –diction is word choice. When writing, use


vocabulary suited for the type of Academic papers.

Besides the level of formality, also consider positive or negative connotations of


the words choses.

EXAMPLES:

Positive: Cutting the grass

Negative: Slashing the grass

Tone –the tone may be objective, or subjective,


logical or emotional, intimate or distant, serious or
humorous. It can consist mostly of long, intricate
sentences, of short, simple ones, or of something
in between.

Tone vs. Voice –anything you write should still


have your voice: something that makes your
writing sound uniquely like you.

EXAMPLES:

From Miles Davis: “Don’t play what’s there, play what’s not there.”
From Arthur Schnabel: “The notes I handle, no better than many pianists,
But the pauses between the notes –ah, that is
where the art resides.
Style –when writing a term paper, the one thing
you have to remember is to use authoritative
sources. These are the vital if the paper is to
persuade the intended audience.
