Abstract

Literature, as the art of words, is constructed and expressed through language, which sets it apart from other arts. Words, their meanings, and the connections between them not only shape the linguistic structure but also the inner world of a literary work (characters, settings, emotions, ideas, etc.). The relationship between language and a literary work is a complex but inevitable one. Since literature is a collection of works, it is impossible to exclude language from its evaluation. Linguistic richness, as a key feature of a literary work, encompasses words and their meanings, syntactic structures, styles, and forms of expression. A literary work is not only an artistic creation but also linguistic, so the creative abilities in the use of artistic language during the creative process of each author determine how well a literary work is realized artistically.
Considering that literature is the most popular art form and that its role is to act as a mediator among people, the primary tool to accomplish this mission is language.
