    LESSON 5:

    The Language of Literature
    Literature has always distinguish itself from day to day
    language use.

     The English language, for instance is used to put together a


    poetic line that creates a rhythm out of stressed and unstressed.

     It is precisely its language that makes it literary, and different


    from the language of media, or the language of the streets.
     Through language, the disjointed or chaotic events of real life can be
    connected or rearranged into a coherent narrative.

     According novelist Joan Silber (2009), this is what makes fiction


    different from reality –in fiction, “life can be seen as intelligible.”

     This also applies to non-fiction or stories derived from true events, as


    in history or biography.

     Literature strives to make life comprehensible and intelligible by its


    creative use of language in plot – through descriptions, scenes,
    dialogue, and more. This use of language cultivates the literariness of a
    particular work.
