Clining, which originated from the Greek word clino, is the order or arrangement of words depending on the emotional intensity of their meaning. For example, the words shout, scream, and shriek may mean the same thing. However, when they are used in sentences the intensity of the sentence, as well as the words' meaning, will change. For example:
1. I shouted so that you can hear me.
2. I screamed after he surprised me behind the door.
3. I shrieked endlessly after I saw the bloodied cat on the floor.
