what is sensory language

Sensory language is a writing technique used in creative writing that involves the five senses: taste, touch, sight, sound, and smell. It is a descriptive language that plays on the reader’s senses and is tailored to invoke mental images by engaging the reader’s mind on multiple levels. Sensory language consists mainly of adjectives (words that give more detail to nouns) and helps to provide readers with a more vivid description of something. Using sensory language will help you enhance your writing and immerse your readers in the scene. Sensory language spices up your writing and allows readers to experience your words as if they’re living your story. You can use sensory words in any type of writing, including business writing. The more sensory language you have, the more you help the reader to experience your writing, as if they are a part of the experience.
