| Summary: | The two quotations above, one by a literaty critic, the
other by a specialist in language learning, agree on one
important point: that in language learning as in literature,
the choice of expression is itself significant.
In reflections on the learning of a foreign language and
its literature, it is appropriate to consider the relationship
between literary and non-literary language. Too often
these two manifestations of language are considered
distinct. Our academic discussions of the two areas are,
significantly, themselves couched in two quite different
types of language, creating a terminological frontier which
neither side dares to cross. Whether this is in fact
desirable for the two areas is one question that this
article intends to discuss. Another is whether the division
is healthy for the student who strays into our respective
territories. |
