Philippine Literature in English


DIFFERENT DEFINITIONS OF LITERATURE


-Literature is literally "acquaintance with letters" as in the first sense given in the Oxford English Dictionary (from the Latin littera meaning "an individual written character.)

-Literature is the art of written works. Literally translated, the word means "acquaintance with letters" (from Latin littera letter), and therefore the academic study of literature is known as Letters (as in the phrase "Arts and Letters"). In Western culture the most basic written literary types include fictionandnonfiction.

-literature, a body of written works related by subject‐matter (e.g. the literature of computing), by language or place of origin (e.g. Russian literature), or by prevailing cultural standards of merit. In this last sense, ‘literature’ is taken to include oral, dramatic, and broadcast compositions that may not have been published in written form but which have been (or deserve to be) preserved.

The one i choose...

The one that attracts me most among the definitions about literature is the definition of Peter Waddowson, i choose that because it is the most clear definition about literature. And it is common to what my prof discussed to us about literature.

Literature for me is more of reading books, making some presentations like drama..
