The aim of literature? (6)
I believe the answer is:
reader
This clue could be a double definition.
'the aim' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'literature?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reader that I've seen before include "(User of) standard textbook" , "Reared by book lover" , "Interpreter of what is written" , "Learning book" , "One perusing book" .)
