Question

Which adjectives best describe poetic language—regardless of where that language appears? (Select all that apply.)

Answer 1

Answer:

Nuanced, compressed

Explanation:

Poetic language is the language associated with poetry. This term is used to make a distinction between poetry and other forms of speech.

As we can easily notice, poetry is very different from our everyday conversations. This is because the used language is different. We can describe poetic language as nuanced and compressed.

When something is nuanced, it is characterized by subtle shades of meaning or expression. This is why we need to pay close attention to which words exactly are used in poems. In poetry, nuances matter a lot more than in the language we use outside of it.

Effective poetry uses compressed language. This means that poets say a lot without using too many words. This is why, in poetry, short sentences are very common and important.
