In literature, "half" serves as a versatile modifier that conveys both precise fractions and states of partiality. In mathematical and physical contexts, authors use it to denote exact proportions or measurements—as in describing a circle having a diameter one‐half as long [1] or specifying time intervals like half a minute or half an hour [2], [3]. Beyond mere numbers, "half" often signals an incomplete or transitional state, capturing physical or emotional ambivalence; characters can be half-awake [4], half-distracted [5], or even express half-hearted understanding [6]. In dialogue and descriptive passages, "half" also enriches the texture of social and economic commentary, from half a pound of steak [7] to half a guinea in transactions [8]. Whether delineating spatial dimensions, temporal segments, or the nuances of human emotion and intention, the varied use of "half" allows writers to subtly layer meaning into both precise quantitative details and more ambiguous, metaphorical landscapes [9], [10], [11].
