Senses in sentences

When talking or writing, it is possible to make use of our five senses. It is also possible to exclude the senses from the what is said, leading to a more objective way of speaking. Sensory language references and stimulates the senses, thus:

1.  The party was so exciting

         The party is frequently described as very colorful. "And already the halls and salons and verandas are            gaudy with primary colors.the orchestra is playing yellow cocktail music.the seachange of faces and              voices and color." 


2. Morning came and the people arrived.

The cool morning sun cast long fingers of shadow and light across the green field as our visitors tramped across rough and the dewy grass. Objective language seeks to engage the logical mind, but not the senses, which are considered too emotional. It is thus common in such as legal, scientific and business writing Senses in language Language can make reference to any or all senses by deliberate use of appropriate sensory words. Note that these can be both direct description and also sensory metaphors. Sight The visual sense is referenced by talking about light and dark, shades and hues, visible shape and appearance.
