Literature is an artistic creation through the medium of language. Therefore, in order to study the fundamental character of literature we must know the structure and function of language. Language is not only a means of communication, but also an expression of human consciousness itself. The structure of language is temporal, and its temporal structure is twofold,-ideal and musical. This is the special character of language which defines the fundamental quality of literature. The function of language varies according to the purposes for which it is employed. For instance, in science words are used as mere abstract signs or instruments and are combined by impersonal logic, while in literature words are used as evocative symbols and are combined by imagination. Literature has two sides,-ideological and artistic. These two sides may be complementary to each other, but the property of literature that distinguishes it from philosophy or ideological writings is its artistic side. Therefore literary criticism must be based upon the esthetics of language, the nucleus of which is stylistics. Style is a concrete and objective form or image of thought or feeling. In literature there exists no thought or feeling that has not any style. Stylistics intends to grasp original types or configurations in literary expressions, and to analyse their internal structures. In other words, stylistics is the study of images of language formed by imagination.
