In English when they talk about "language"

Would that be about the style and imagery of the poem mainly? Or what should I really talk about? I'm doing an adrienne rich essay at the moment.

The technical features of the poetry, i.e. alliteration, assonance, sybillance, use of metaphor/similie, Personification, use of oxymorons, careful use of broad vowels to alter the rhythm of poetry, imagery, colloquial vs universal language, the metre of the poem.

Thats all I would say would fit under language.
