Conceptual stretching refers to the process of expanding the meaning or application of a concept beyond its original or traditional boundaries to include new, often unrelated, contexts or situations. This can lead to a broader understanding of the concept but may also result in ambiguity or dilution of its original meaning. It is often used in Social Sciences and humanities to adapt established theories to contemporary issues. However, critics may argue that it can compromise the clarity and precision of academic discourse.
