Well, no, not exactly. Most people think of literature as something special. For one thing, we reserve that term for texts with a long shelf life . The texts they utter do not last, though. A particular folk tale performance also disappears as soon as the echoes die out, but in this case the essence of the tale has been preserved in memory for a long time, often for many generations.
Most people reject gossip as literature but accept folk tales.
For another thing, we classify as literature only those texts which the author and the audience both approach in a playful spirit . Fluent English speakers can take delight in product instructions written by foreign engineers. No one calls the instructions literature, though. Those judges who awarded a literary prize to an excerpt from a technical soybean pamphlet would have eliminated the entry if the prankster had not retyped the lines like free verse to imply a playfulness that the original author left out. Now look at the other end of the communication transaction.
