expressive and communicative style
as an alternative, why not do away with 'language' entirely, which is the main obstacle to getting something that sounds vaguely natural in English. Don't see that style, in this context, is widely off the mark, but think it works better
and as for that 'deve definire', while we're about it, I'd go for something like 'needs to find his own...'
expressive style gets lots of ghits (57,000+):

and so, perhaps surprisingly, does communicative style (16,000+):

language of expression and communication
the only other option "expressive and communicative language" would be awkward and flat.

idiom of expression and communication
another variation on the theme of Paganini (well, Tom, anyway)
