mode of address

Mode of address can be defined as the ways in which the relations between addresser and addressee are constructed in a text. 
It is how the text speaks to its audience for example how direct or indirect.
A newscaster speaks directly to the camera and therefore it is directly to the audience. Soaps speaks indirectly because we are watching people talking and acting with one another.
There are different types of modes. There is ‘1st person’ which is used when writing in a diary because you're talking about yourself as in ‘I and Me. Also There is ‘3rd person’ that is used as a narrative.
