  1. ok...the other two answers are a little off in terms of this question

    a literature perspective of a book means youre looking at its themes and style, trying to see what the book wants to convey in terms of emotion. it means looking a books purpose and how it is meant to affect readers both emotional and mentally

    a language perspective means you are looking at syntax, rhetoric, structure, etc, to see how an author makes a literature perspective happen.....its basically looking at the way the book was written, especially when the author incorporates special elements such as metaphors or chiasmus into the writing

    to sum it up, a literature perspective is how a book makes you feel, and a language perspective is why the writing of a book makes you feel that way


  2. a literature perspective is one which includes i think the structures of paragraphs and sentences etc, and a language perspective would be to do with the words that are used and differences in the style of language used.

    well thats my opinion anyway. hope thats helped.  

  3. theyre complete opposites =]

    to look at a book literally would mean you read exactly what is given to you and you move on. Language perspective could be a more deep thinking version of a literal reading book. such as shakespeare, he makes you think really hard about what he writes while if something was literal it would be very easy to follow, like a childrens book
