Literary notes about statement (AI summary)
In literature, the word "statement" functions in a wide array of roles, from expressing personal conviction to serving as a pivotal piece of logical or narrative evidence.

In historical or analytical texts, it frequently marks the connection between events and figures or lays out complex arguments in a succinct manner [2], [3]. The term also appears in dialogues and expository passages to emphasize clarity or reveal character intent, whether by presenting doctrines and reformed ideas in clear language [4], [5] or by articulating positions during heated exchanges and moments of self-realization [6], [7].
