Just as your tone of voice reveals your attitude about the words you are saying, tone refers to those techniques and modes of presentation that reveal or create attitudes. The study of tone examines those aspects of situation, language, action, and background that bring out the attitude.

Problems connected with the work's tone should also be introduced here.
