Literary notes about paradigms (AI summary)

In literature, the term "paradigms" is deployed with notable versatility. In works on language and grammar, it often denotes systematic tables of declensions or conjugations that highlight the underlying patterns of word forms, as seen in detailed presentations of Latin and Old English noun declensions ([1], [2], [3]). Meanwhile, the word also operates in a broader intellectual context, referring to overarching frameworks or models that shape scientific inquiry and theoretical discourse—for instance, in discussions of research methodologies or even innovative approaches in patient care ([4], [5]). This dual use underscores how "paradigms" functions both as a guide for understanding linguistic structures and as a metaphor for conceptual systems that organize knowledge in various fields ([6], [7]).
