Figurative Language Review How Does SENSORY LANGUAGE CONTRIBUTE TO MEANING?

Figurative Language *Figurative Language is any language that has a ‘hidden’ meaning. It does not mean something exactly the way it is said or “literally.” *Authors use this language to deepen the meaning of their message and to add description and interest to their writing!
