Ibn Jinni (ca. 320 AH / 932 AD - 392 AH / 1002 AD) had preceded all linguists in a stable comprehensive definition of Language, where he marked: "Language in definition is but sounds by which every people express their social behavior". His words gave a very professional definition since it was the first time anyone speaks in Language by Sounds! And yet he put the function of Language in a neat form of definition. In this regard, he gave a wider definition more than Noam Chomsky's who also said that language is a system of sounds, yet he didn't discuss the use of language in the first definition of his.
Henceforth, from a sociolinguistic point of view, literature is seen a social behavior and language can be deemed a tool or a vital element of literature. That is to say, most historians have taken some account of the relation of the individual authors- of any genre- to the circumstance of social and cultural era in which they live and perform literature. Seamlessly, the relation between language and literature is set by society and in short the (Individual), as used to be believed that Man is microcosm of the whole world (Philosophy- as a social behavior). Therefore, we can not put a part each of the sciences because the complement one another and interact crossly. This takes us back to many definitions such as the definition of poetry, drama, thought, criticism, connotation, and denotation as you know!
Above all, Man learns by experience and therefore He is doomed to philosophy in his understanding of his linguistic behavior.
Too much to say, but yet to come!
