eross Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 I know that language is listed as a WoK, and I can see why it is -- we use it to acquire knowledge. But a language is knowledge in itself, so shouldn't languages be included in some AoK too? and while we're at it, in which AoK does Literature belong? (I would say art, right? but what about non-fiction/essays/biographies/etc ? is this still in art?) I want to hear your thoughts on this, as it's been puzzling me for a while. Thanks to anyone who can help clarify my doubts. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to anyone who can help clarify my doubts. Language in itself is a Area of Knowledge, just like chemistry, biology, physics, history, mathematics and so on. Literature can belong in language arts, so a specific type of art, but not performing nor visual arts. Does that help? Feel free to pose more questions or comment to clarify!
