Show transcript
Sensory language can be used to enhance the atmosphere of a description. Effective sensory language uses a variety of senses rather than focusing predominantly on just one. Effective sensory language might also use precise vocabulary in order to evoke an atmosphere. Using language devices such as personification and onomatopoeia can also enhance sensory language.
