Literary texts:
1. Fiction: Novels, short stories, plays, and other works that present imaginary characters, events, and settings. Examples: "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare, "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee.
2. Poetry: Works that emphasize the aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language, often expressing emotions or ideas in a condensed, figurative way. Examples: "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe, "Sonnets" by William Shakespeare, "Leaves of Grass" by Walt Whitman.
3. Drama: Plays intended for performance on stage, involving characters, dialogues, and conflicts. Examples: "Death of a Salesman" by Arthur Miller, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare, "The Cherry Orchard" by Anton Chekhov.
Non-Literary Texts:
1. Journalistic writing: News articles, reports, editorials, and other texts that provide objective information, report on current events, or analyze issues. Examples: Newspaper articles, magazine features, investigative journalism.
2. Academic writing: Research papers, dissertations, theses, and other scholarly works that present research findings, theories, or arguments in a structured and objective manner. Examples: Scientific studies, historical analyses, literary criticism.
3. Technical writing: Manuals, instructions, guides, and other texts that provide practical information or explain how to perform a specific task. Examples: User guides for electronic devices, assembly instructions, technical reports.
4. Business writing: Memos, emails, reports, proposals, and other documents used in business communication to convey information, give instructions, or make decisions. Examples: Financial statements, marketing plans, contracts, legal documents.
It's worth noting that this is a general distinction and some works may have elements of both literary and non-literary qualities. Additionally, there are many subgenres within each category, and not all works fit neatly into these broad classifications.
