Other Rhetorical Choices

Rhetorical choices give writing an effect that can help readers better understand the writer’s context or purpose.

Descriptions	Examples
Formality tells the reader if the writing is situated in a casual context, professional context, or anything in between.	Some meetings are casual, and members are encouraged to “just hang out and chill.”
Idiomatic language conveys information using common word combinations that is meant to use cultural or contextual familiarity to deliver meaning.	One all-nighter had a self-serve, Taco Tuesday-themed meeting because it was during crunch time.
Concision shortens a sentence or any of its pieces to simplify the sentence to its most important ideas, which may change depending on the writer and reader’s background knowledge or attitude towards the topic.	Various protein options were available for team members with dietary restrictions.
Code-switching is any instance where a writer uses another language in a sentence to convey additional or more accurate meaning.	Team members were not limited to eating tacos; they could also have tamales, quesadillas, or sopes.
