What type of thing is literature?
Literature can be described as all of the following:
- Communication - activity of conveying information. Communication requires a sender, a message, and an intended recipient, although the receiver need not be present or aware of the sender's intent to communicate at the time of communication; thus communication can occur across vast distances in time and space.
- Written communication (writing) - representation of language in a textual medium through the use of a set of signs or symbols (known as a writing system).
- Subdivision of culture - shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterizes an institution, organization, or group.
- One of the arts - imaginative, creative, or nonscientific branch of knowledge, especially as studied academically.
