Special Issue on LANGUAGE, LITERATURE AND SOCIETY
The present special edition examines the various perspectives of Language, Literature and Society and defines their apt relevance. The notion of language is being considered somewhat similar to life. Language is a natural human growth; to some extent mental as well as physical. It remains changing incessantly; hence the nature of language is dynamic. A child learns the language of the society which he lives in. The entire frame of culture and civilization fully depends upon language. Language is the means of communication among human beings through which human community grows and develops in this globe. The society cannot be thought of without language. Language generates thoughts and leads the entire frame of culture and civilization. All human beings are blessed with this precious gift. The history of human development validates the importance of language. It has brought the gradual development of human life from Stone Age to Modern Era.
Literature is created through language. Literature is the source of human knowledge and the documentation of human experience. Literature helps to understand the world around us and preserves the morals of people. History of literature dates back to the dawn of human civilization .The societies were formed by the human beings with objectives of fulfilling the human needs and aspirations. Literature and society are closely related to each other since literature is the mirror of society. An exposure to good literary works is essential at every phase of life as it enriches us in more ways than one. Literature spans culture, beliefs, and attributes the necessary component for corroborating how literature reflects, and portrays communities. The events are usually reflected in the writings of the authors. Literature acts as a form of expression for each individual author. Some books mirror society and allow us to better understand the world we live in.
Hope this collection of papers will recommend further directions both for reading and research.
