He sounded American to me, but she doesn't seem to have any accent at all. What's going on here? Who has the accent? What I know about my language and how to use it is called my idiolect . It almost certainly varies in minor ways from the idiolects of all other speakers. But what is an idiolect? That is, what kinds of things do I know? In one sense, this whole book is an answer to that question, but we need to have a first cut at the answer here to help us get started. I know words. I have a vocabulary, a set of words which I know how to pronounce and use appropriately. For example, I know how to say the word apple , and I know that it refers to a particular type of fruit.

But all these notes may be useful in making your writing clearer and more effective. The entries here are of two types: specific articles on usage, and more general articles on style. The specific articles cover such things as when to use a semicolon and what a dangling participle is; the general articles discuss ways to make "proper" writing even better. The specific articles can be further divided into two classes: (1) grammatical rules and explanations, matters rather of precedent than of taste; and (2) more subjective suggestions for making your writing clearer , more forceful, and more graceful . The specific articles are intended for quick reference, such as when you have to find out whether

Style guide From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (Redirected from Manual of Style Style guides generally give guidance on language use. Some style guides consider or focus on elements of graphic design , such as typography and white space. Website style guides often focus on visual or technical aspects. Contents Overview Academia and publishing General interest Specialized guides ... edit Overview Traditionally, a style guide (often called a style manual or stylebook ) dictates what form of language should be used. These style guides are principally used by academia and publishers. In such works, style can have two meanings: Publication conventions for markup style, such as whether book and movie titles should be written in italics; expression of dates and numbers; how references should be cited. Literary considerations of prose style, such as best usage, common errors in grammar, punctuation and spelling; and suggestions for precision, fairness and the most forceful expression of ideas. Some modern style guides are designed for use by the general public. These tend to focus on language over presentation. Style guides don’t directly address writers’ individual style, or “voice,” although writers sometimes say style guides are too restrictive.
