Heres a few simple ones..there are probably hundreds of english techniques out there.

Simile-A comparison describing something "as" something
Metaphor-A comparison
Personification-Describing something to be human
Alliteration-Repetition of consonats
Assonace-Repitition of vowels
Onomatopeia-Describing something as a sound

I think language techniques are skills or styles that enrich and are used to deliver a message.
