I have for a long time been writing short stories, and, find my short stories sound completely different to normal ones. you see, my stories are about events rather than detail, and about relationships rather than individuals.
Besides that, i have found there is a lot of structure to writing, structure you probably have never heard of before, like pace. this would be where you count the letters of each sentence and word and then make sure you allot it so that people go quickly from one sentence to another, building a heart rate in the reader where they will feel excited or in suspense.
Then there is tone - you can alter the tone of voice being used by using the correct words. everyone has images going through their mind while they read, and, you can alter them to a certain degree by your choice of words as each sentence leads into another. this would be where you create a feeling too.
Language is all about emotions, as nobody would read if they were not learning something or at least having fun, yes?
