Vocabulary: The vocabulary in Decadence spells out words the way they are sounded, For example, "Shuch." Also, Berkoff uses old- fashioned language, "I'll make you see just how wondrous thou art to me."
Syntax: The structure of the phrases and sentences is that they're very short, to keep intensity and makes it more sinister.
Images: By telling the stories of the murders allows the interpreter to see in their head as they are reading along, they can imagine who and what they are doing.
Speech Patterns: We don't talk in any accents , only the fact that we talk a lot more clearly. The only dialect we use is what is used in the play. For example, "Cor, blimey."
Sound of dialogue: The rapidity of our interpretation is very quick and fast paced. In the sense of intensity, we over- exaggerate a lot of what we say to sound sinister.
Structure of dialogue: Decadence is structured with no given pauses and is up to the interpreter to who says what. Berkoff has set the play out in one full paragraph. He uses forward slashes to split up sentences as there is no punctuation what so ever included in the play.
