  It is well recognized that sensory perceptions and language have
interconnections through numerous studies in psychology, neuroscience, and
sensorial linguistics. Set in this rich context we ask whether the use of
sensorial language in writings is part of linguistic style? This question is
important from the view of stylometrics research where a rich set of language
features have been explored, but with insufficient attention given to features
related to sensorial language.
  Taking this as the goal we explore several angles about sensorial language
and style in collections of lyrics, novels, and poetry. We find, for example,
that individual use of sensorial language is not a random phenomenon; choice is
likely involved. Also, sensorial style is generally stable over time - the
shifts are extremely small. Moreover, style can be extracted from just a few
hundred sentences that have sensorial terms. We also identify representative
and distinctive features within each genre.
  For example, we observe that 4 of the top 6 representative features in novels
collection involved individuals using olfactory language where we expected them
to use non-olfactory language.
