La letteratura è un mondo analogo.

 

We have tried to make sense of what litterary language means.

Some people says that one of the features of literature is the special or unusual use of language; it moves between high formality and vernacular ease. Literature uses language in different way,draws attention to it, and requires readers to pay a lot of attention.A literary text has got a different relationship to external reality; a new reality exists within the text and it is formed thanks to raw material ( words). The reader try to recreate this reality with his mind and his knowledge.

An informational text has got a static reality because we cannot change the truth (reality).

The role of the reader is an active, dynamic, in that (nel senso che) he contributes to make the meaning of the text.

The mean of the word depends on the space where it is said; a text may have as many meanings as readers provided that (a patto che) the reader can support his interpretation of a specific text.

Implicit meanings are to be inferred.
