Is there a word that means "expressed using words", as opposed to an idea that is expressed through pictures? I first thought of "articulate" or "explicit" but those aren't quite right. (For context, I'm writing a paper that attempts to compare visual art, literature, and music and the differences in how they express their ideas.)


Solution 1:

"Verbal." And, before anyone says "that's just for spoken words," I give you Merriam-Webster:

Verbal: of, relating to, or consisting of words
