Oceanic Australia, Polynesia , Melanesia , Micronesia literature developed in isolation from the rest of the world and in a unique geographic environment. This allowed the development of a unique literature to thrive. Oceanic literature was heavily inflenced by religion and ritual. This can be seen by the large amount of religious symbolism featured in it. Another major thing that influenced Oceanic society was its intricate oral tradition. For a long time, most Oceanic literature was not written down. As a result, stock formulas and rhyming were used in many works these traits made it easier to memorize . Gods, creation myths, and spirits are also prominent in Oceanic litearture, showcasing again the influence oral tradition had on the literature of Oceania. Oceanic literature is written mainly in the English language. References 2007 . In Britannica Concise Encyclopedia http www.encyclopedia.com doc 1B1 373858.html . Encyclop dia Britannica .

Source literature is a term with different meanings. Literature understood as printed texts is one kind of information source . In a way is all literature a kind of source literature . It might, for example, be cited and used as Source text source s in academic writings. However, if used in this broad meaning the concept becomes synonymous with literature and the term thus superfluous and meaningless. The meaning of source literature is relative . From the point of view of a bibliographic index the indexed papers are source literature . For example, in the Social Sciences Citation Index is a source index covering the journals being indexed. These journals are the source literature from the point of view of this index. But from the point of view of the indexed papers are the bibliographical references contained in the single papers source literature . In the humanities, the term source literature has a more precise meaning as published sources Many archives, for example, publish important sources to be used by historians and other scholars as reliable editions of formerly unpublished sources. The publishing of such sources requires knowledge of text philology and other fields. But this kind of expertise put into the publishing of source literature should be differentiated from the kind of expertise needed in order to use the sources in, for example, historical research. A historian may or may not use such source literature and on the basis of his research publish a paper, which in the UNISIST model is considered primary literature. Fjordback S ndergaard, Andersen & Hj rland 2003 thus suggests that source literature is a distinct kind of literature to be distinguished from primary literature. Literature Fjordback S ndergaard, T.

Venezuelan literature can be traced to Pre Columbian pre Hispanic times with the myths and oral literature that formed the cosmogonic view of the world that indigenous people had. Some of these stories are still known in Venezuela. Like many Latin America n countries, the Spanish conquerors have had the greatest effect on both the culture and the literature. The first written documents by the Spanish colonizers are considered to be the origin of Venezuela s written literature. This has included chronicles, letters, acts, etc. Venezuela s first major writer was Andr s Bello . Venezuelan literature developed in the 19th century with the formation of Venezuela as a nation state and the political conflicts of the time between conservatives and liberals.
