being concrete or abstract. Words also vary in their formality.
Words also have specific or direct definitions (

connotations
) associated with their use. Connotations as well as denotations of words can vary in meaning historically and
geographically.Slide15

in the comparison.Slide17

RepetitionRepetition is when the writer or speaker knowingly repeats a word or group of words for effect.
