Edward  Sapir’s  ‘Language  is  an introduction  to the study  of speech chapter ‘  States that ,  Language  is the medium of literature and the society , That mean no language no society  also there is  no society without language , then explained  that there  is no literature without the society .
Therefore Edward Sapir in language believes that, language and literature can not be separated  simply because both has it’s function  in the society .
Also   explained literature are always  using artist  language  such as figures of speech ,different styles  in order to reflect social realities  ,therefore due to that reason can be going direct to prove about  argument Edward Sapir , is trying to use different examples in order to comment on his view about literature and language whereby he says  that language   is medium of literature as marble or bronze ore clay are materials of   the sculptor .
Also he says that the phonetic ground work of the futures that give it’s literature a certain direction, for more important are its morphological peculiarities
Edward Sapir also in this chapter has used evidence of fish an water where bay he says  no water no fish , it evident that literature should use language  to convey message though and ideas to a particular society or people .
Therefore according to that chapter without language the of literature must face some difficulties to present  what  has intended to the society members .

According to Terry Eagleton’s Introduction to literature claims that  ‘If  there is such thing literary   theory That it would seem  obvious that there is something  called literature ?  THIS implies that existence  of literature  lies on literacy  theories  -no literature  where by there are difficult   theories that supporting the discussion  such that as formalism  structuralism ,reader response ,deconstruction , didactic, functionalism and sociological  theories .
In reader response  and cultureless Terry Eagleton put a reader and cultural experience  first  in the definition of literature . In this critical approaches , what definition  literature are the readers interaction with the text . Also in Formalism theory Eagleton  starts  to define literature by separating text from the author and from the society .This leaves only the text and the structure, The of text from which to deriver  a definition  for literature .
Formalist also posit that literature  makes reality more real through de familiarization and internal literalness .
Terry Eagleton  say it is possible for literary  reader to have multiple interpretation  and meaning  of the same piece of literary work . This concept  is  rooted in deconstructions  theory  which allows creation or discovery of the multiple layers of meaning  by subverting  the truth.
Also defines Literature is imaginative work of arts that employs authentic language  in capturing human experiences  in life – reflecting social reality . Literature is inferred  as imaginative work in it’s creation and interpretation in the sense of friction Terry  Eagleton says that not every friction work is literature exam plies by super conic and mills and boon  novels on the other hand  not every  non frictional work is included in literature .
Also he asserts that if literature is ‘creative and  imaginative  writing ’does this implies that history ,philosophy and natural science are uncreative and unimaginative ?where by this is convincingly by Vladimir  Nabokov’s  idea who says that ‘literature is the creation of another world , World that we can only see through reading  literature . This implies that author creates or composes literacy work ,He creates  his imaginative world  view different  from the one that is created by any reader  in the course of it’s interpretation .
Terry Eagleton comments that literature is definable not according  to weather  it’s  frictional or imaginative ,but on it’s capacity of using language  in peculiar ways.
