Abstract

We have seen as a very important phenomenon the connection of language to literature, but

all from the perspective of placing literature as a function of the language. This connection has

alwaysbeenadebatableproblemforscholarsofvariouseldsbutespeciallyfordidacticsand

linguists. Metaphorically, one researcher states: “Literature is obtained through language, just

asBurgundywineismadefromgrapes[…]Thisdoesnotmeanthatbydrinkingwine,westill

perceivegrapes,itwouldbeunnecessary.“Literatureand linguisticsbelongtotwodierent

epistemes,theyhavedierent objects and their interrelationships are complex in terms of

many aspects and challenges.” (Paveau, 2011).

Introduction

“If you had happened to be in a storm at sea and found yourself standing on a deserted island

with twenty-nine other strangers, what would you have done? If you and the other passengers

came from dierent realms, you would lack a common language and customs. “ (Hofstede,

2010)

the importance of language when in need of being oriented in specic situations

and contexts, but more importantly, to justify the value of language in everyday

communication.

Furthermore, “Words are objects,” quoted Bisuti, “there are words that are quick or slow,

light or heavy, sensitive or harsh, bright or opaque, strong or fragile, hardworking or lazy. We

notice all of these if we pay aention to their sounds and meanings. ” (Bisuti, 2019).

This researcher and lover of poetry, tells us that in order to understand and perceive
