The study of literary texts has evolved significantly alongside linguistic advancements, integrating structuralist, cognitive, corpus-based, and discourse-oriented approaches. This paper examines how modern linguistic theories contribute to literary analysis, exploring key frameworks such as structuralism, systemic functional linguistics, conceptual metaphor theory, and sociolinguistics. Additionally, it discusses the role of corpus linguistics in computational analysis and the impact of digital tools on literary research. The interdisciplinary nature of contemporary literary studies underscores the importance of multimodal analysis, artificial intelligence, and cross-linguistic perspectives in shaping future research. As linguistic methodologies advance, the study of literature continues to expand, offering deeper insights into the intersection of language, cognition, and culture.
