    CONTEMPORARY PHILIPPINE ARTS FROM THE REGION

    AUDITORY ARTS - LITERATURE

    Literature (from Latin litterae (plural); letter) is the art of written work, and is not
    confined to published sources (although, under some circumstances, unpublished
    sources can also be exempt). The word literature literally means "things made
    from letters" and the term "letters" is sometimes used to signify "literature," as in
    the figures of speech "arts and letters" and "man of letters." The four major
    classifications of literature are poetry, prose, fiction, and non-fiction.

    FORMS OF LITERATURE
    ● ORAL LITERATURE – literary works transmitted from one generation to
    another verbally.
    ● WRITTEN LITERATURE – literary works in printed form
    ● VISUAL LITERATURE – literary works presented in front of an audience

    DIVISIONS OF LITERATURE

    PROSE - is the most typical form of language, applying ordinary grammatical


    structure and natural flow of speech rather than rhythmic structure (as in traditional
    poetry). While there are critical debates on the construction of prose, its simplicity
    and loosely defined structure have led to its adoption for the majority of spoken
    dialogue, factual discourse, and topical and fictional writing. It is commonly used,
    for example, in literature, newspapers, magazines, encyclopedias, broadcasting,
    film, history, philosophy, law, and many other forms of communication.

    Fiction - is the form of any narrative or informative work that deals, in part or in
    whole, with information or events that are not factual, but rather, imaginary—that is,
    invented by the author. Although fiction describes a major branch of literary work,
    it may also refer to theatrical, cinematic, or musical work. Fiction contrasts with
    non-fiction, which deals exclusively with factual (or, at least, assumed factual)
    events, descriptions, observations, etc. (e.g., biographies, histories).
