Language is a similarly vital function of our existence. Myth and Language explores the less universally accepted supposition that, particularly for the realm of literature, these two domains are necessarily interrelated. Moreover, this relationship is shown to be crucial to an understanding of the broader roles of literature in society. Unlike previous studies of this symbiosis, which have tended to neglect the importance of language, Myth and Language fully considers the influence of social context on the nature of literary language. Albert Cook begins his investigation into the relationship of myth and language with a critique of the work of Levi-Strauss, showing the usefulness of his binary procedures and sketching a typology of cultural phases, with particular attention to literary forms. Another section traces the redefinition of the relationship of myth and language from the oral Greek culture of Homer to the development of the discrete forms of lyric poetry, philosophy, and historiography. A final section examines the necessary reliance of elementary literary forms?proverb, riddle, parable, metaphor?on the translation of mythic concerns into language. Myth and Language is a cogent argument for the dependence of literary expression on mythic formulations. 606 $aSprache$2gnd 606 $aMythos$2gnd 606 $aMythologie$2gnd 606 $aMyth$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01031678 606 $aLanguage and languages$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00992154 606 $aGreek literature$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00947441 606 $aFolk literature$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00928888 606 $aLitterature populaire$xHistoire et critique 606 $aLitterature grecque$xHistoire et critique 606 $aLangage et langues 606 $aMythe 606 $aFolk literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGreek literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLanguage and languages 606 $aMyth 607 $aGriechenland$gAltertum$2gnd 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 610 $aMyths & fairy tales 615 7$aSprache 615 7$aMythos 615 7$aMythologie 615 0$aMyth. 615 0$aLanguage and languages. 615 0$aGreek literature. 615 0$aFolk literature. 615 6$aLitterature populaire$xHistoire et critique. 615 6$aLitterature grecque$xHistoire et critique. 615 6$aLangage et langues. 615 6$aMythe. 615 0$aFolk literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGreek literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLanguage and languages. 615 0$aMyth. 700 $aCook$b Albert$f1925-1998.$01168414 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524858303321 996 $aMyth and Language$92720994 997 $aUNINA
