literature在論文寫作中常作「研究文獻」,而非「文學」。在論文中的第一章緒論中常有literature review(文獻回顧)一節,若是篇幅較長也可獨立成一章。
literature是不可數名詞,因此表「許多文獻」要用much literature,不可用
*many literatures;但若是literature前有形容詞時,則可加不定冠詞a,例如a
substantial literature(大量文獻)。另外,若是指不同學科或種類的文獻時是可用literatures,例如psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic literatures(心理語言學和神經語言學的文獻),或者是用two types of literature。
