Literary notes about accommodation (AI summary)
In literature, the term "accommodation" exhibits a striking versatility. In narrative prose it often simply denotes a place to stay, as seen in references to inns, cottages, and even palace lodgings [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. At the same time, many sociological and philosophical texts employ the term in a more abstract sense—signifying the process of reconciling differences, adjusting to new conditions, or resolving conflicts [6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]. Furthermore, the word is employed metaphorically to explore subtle interpersonal and social dynamics, or even to explain complex arrangements in both human settings and broader organizational structures [12, 13, 14, 15].
