The vocabulary in Allegiant is mostly casual diction with some abstract/concrete diction. There is a lot of casual diction with most of the characters because they aren't from Erudite, the intelligent faction. The Erudite however use mostly elevated diction and scientific jargon. With Tris and Tobias, there is abstract diction because they are dating. The two are in love with each other and love comes with a lot of abstract diction like love, and trust. In the book, it says "This program helps us to interpret the data in an understandable way. What you see here is a simplified depiction of a particular DNA sequence in Tris's genetic material." (557, Roth). This shows the scientific jargon of the scientists at the Bureau. In the book, it also states "I fell in love with him. But I don't just stay with him by default as if there's no one else available for me. I stay with him because i choose to, every day that i wake up, every day that we fight or lie to each other or disappoint each other. I choose him over and over again, and he chooses me." (647,Roth). This part shows the abstract diction between Tobias and Tris. The vocab really depends on who is talking and to who.
