The language found in literature is different from the ordinary usage of the language. How can we differentiate between the two? I. By studying the forms of language used in literature II. By analyzing the word formation and sentence structure in literature III. By studying the synonyms and simile used in literature and the language used ordinarily Correct Answer I, II and III

There are two ways of looking at language. Ordinary people recognise language only as a means of communication. Linguists generally look at language as a pairing of a grammar and a dictionary. These two ways of looking at language restrict the versatility of language and its usage. These perspectives conclude that speakers of a given language come later than dictionaries and grammars that exist in a given language. Note that:

  • Language is perfect in all its styles.
  • Understanding someone else’s speech by hearing it, understanding one’s own speech having said it and even reading something.
  • But the style of language that comes to us through literature is really fascinating.
  • It’s always a challenge for a linguist to be able to analyse a specific style of language used in a poem, story, drama or novels etc.
  • Effective analysis of language at the level of sound, word formation, sentence structure as it is used stylistically in literature in its various forms can help us to know-how is the language of ordinary usage different from the language of literature. 

Hence, we conclude that language and literature can be differentiated on the basis of the above point.
