 | | Study of different forms of the English language helps students to understand that people use different levels of formality in their writing and speaking as well as a variety of regional and social dialects in their conversational language. |
 | | From poetry we learn the language of heart and soul, with particular attention paid to rhythm and sound, compression and precision, the power of images, and the appropriate use of figures of speech. |
 | | Above all, authors are wordsmiths, plying their craft at the level of word and sentence—adding, subtracting, and substituting, changing word order, even using punctuation to shift the rhythm and flow of language. |
