Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the concept of analogy as it is used in language. Analogies, the process of linking two ideas because they fit or relate to one another, can be categorized as similarity of meaning and varied form, similarity of function, and likeness in form suggesting similarity of function. These classifications encompass a universal element of human communication, shaping language as a whole across diverse communities. The author demonstrates how the human brain attempts to inject simplicity into perceived language complexity by linking similar elements. The resulting word groups can sometimes replace original forms, which may survive solely through specific use cases. This work provides a structured understanding of the range and limitations of analogy in language and highlights its overwhelming importance in linguistic development, providing a valuable resource for linguists and language students alike.
