Literature is meant the expression of thought in language, where by “thought” I mean the ideas, feelings, views, reasoning, and other operations of the human mind. Literature, then, is of a personal character; it consists in the enunciations and teachings of those who have a right to speak as representatives of their kind and in whose words their brethren find an interpretation of their own sentiments, a record of their own experience, and a suggestion for their ownjudgments, Singleton and Millet (In Newman, 1966)

Literature is and cannot be anything but, a kind of extension and application of certain properties of language. He sees the relationship between literature and language on the basis of the very fact that the literary work is verbal work of art, and this has long provoked in vestigators to speak of language’s leading role in literature: an entire discipline, i.e., stylistics, has been created on the borderline between literary studies and linguistics, Valery (In Koesnosoebroto, 1988)

According to Perrine (1959: 4), literature is an antidote to the conflicting influences. To the stale picture of commercial-propaganda it opposes the fresh, intense image, the vision of things “counter, original, spare, strange.”
