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.
