Descriptive language is what adds purpose, emotion, and aesthetic value to a text. Any time a subject, verb, or object is modified in a descriptive way, it's considered descriptive language.

For example: "The dog barked at the moon" is not descriptive language - "The small mongrel tipped back its head and bayed at the moon as though greeting a long-lost friend" is descriptive. Even "The small mongrel barked angrily at the moon" would be descriptive if you don't want to get "flowery."
