Abstract

Branches of art, in a general sense, constitute an integrity with their common traits. Yet, they differ in their functions, form sand capacities. Music has a phonetic construction, which consists of sound. Plastic arts such as architecture, sculpture and painting consist of marble, stone and paint. Literature, on the other hand, consists of words. The key element that separates art branches from each other is the material that is used for each and everyone of them. Due to its unique construction, literature is different from other arts with its multidimensional mental function and with the way it appeals to the senses. In this sense, with its distinctive aspects, literature must be used as a subject in scientific studies. Literature is an intellectual art branch which is built in brain by having kneaded of the elements such as language, structure, content and style. Literature is anthropocentric in everyway. Without a doubt, the key element that makes literature different in many aspects is language. This study investigates literature's differences from other branches of art in the context of its production materials.
