Literary notes about Supplemental (AI summary)
The term supplemental in literature signifies additional material that enhances or clarifies the primary work. It is frequently used to denote added chapters, notes, or acts that provide further context or explanation, as seen in references to extra sections integrally tied to the original narrative or legal framework [1, 2, 3]. In some cases, supplemental content serves a technical purpose, offering detailed observations or specialized data that augment the main text’s argument or description [4, 5]. Even within creative literature, supplemental sections work to enrich the reader's experience by broadening perspectives and deepening the narrative, as in the extended parts of classic works [6, 7].
