Literary notes about paradigm (AI summary)
The term "paradigm" is employed in literature with a remarkable range of meanings, from a structured set of linguistic forms to a conceptual framework for understanding complex phenomena. In discussions of language, it frequently refers to the organized array of inflections or conjugations, as when detailing the complete paradigm of a verb or noun form [1][2][3]. In broader scholarly discourse, "paradigm" delineates a system or model—a foundational theory that underpins an entire field of study, such as the paradigm underlying theories of disease causation or the conceptual patterns that define technological progress [4][5][6]. It also appears metaphorically to denote an ideal or exemplary case, whether describing an astronomical model or a transformative approach in scientific inquiry [7][8][9].
