Literary notes about article (AI summary)

The term “article” is remarkably versatile in literature, serving a range of purposes from denoting a written work or essay to describing a tangible object or even a grammatical component. In scholarly and journalistic contexts, “article” often refers to a distinct piece of writing—as seen in discussions of essays and research reports [1], [2], [3], and even in navigational elements of periodicals [4], [5]. Conversely, the word can refer to material items, such as clothing or furnishings, emphasizing physical objecthood [6], [7], [8], [9]. Additionally, “article” appears in legal or formal frameworks, marking sections or clauses in treaties and constitutions [10], [11], [12]. Grammar texts also highlight its role as the definite or indefinite marker preceding a noun [13], [14]. Thus, the examples illustrate that “article” can denote anything from a written document, to an object of commerce or commodity, to a linguistic element, demonstrating its diverse applications in literary works.
