When analyzing a piece of prose or poetry, the selection of specific words helps add meaning to the text.

Some key features regarding word choice include:

Words or phrases with double meanings, also known as "double entendre."

Use of figurative language, such as metaphor and simile.

Repetition of particular words (usually reinforces meaning or emphasizes something important).

Alliteration and assonance - more commonly found in poetry.

Specific choice of a particular word can denote values, themes and ideas.

Imagery - where comparative words are used to create an impression or an idea.

Use of understatement/hyperbole.
