Abstract
Few critics or scholars today would seriously dispute the contention that the study of literature significantly differs from the study of language as a tool of communication. Especially since the appearance of important works of literary theory like Rene Wellek and Austin Warren's Theory of Literature (1949) and Northrop Frye's Anatomy of Criticism (1957), it is generally recognized that literary language not only represents the most highly developed and refined form of language, but also differs from everyday language in function, organization, and texture. A work of literature undeniably intends much more than a simple act of communication; and learning to understand and appreciate literature requires a wide variety of skills, only one of which is basic language acquisition.
