Discussion
Arrange the following forms applying the principle of canonical sequence for the basic subject 'Literature' :
(i) Drama
(ii) Fiction
(iii) Letters
(iv) Poetry
Codes :
Answer: C
The canonical sequence is (iv) (i) (ii) (iii): poetry, drama, fiction, letters.
In Colon Classification the forms of literature follow a fixed, traditional (canonical) order: 1 Poetry, 2 Drama, 3 Fiction, 4 Letters, followed by oration and other forms. Ranganathan adopted this sequence because it reflects the conventional order in which these forms are treated.
The other codes put fiction or letters before poetry and drama, which departs from this sequence.
