Juxtaposition 2

And so this week, Juxtaposition 2. Like last week, we learn the definition of it. This week, we learn that Juxtaposition is an action divided into two, analogy and oxymoron. Blur Blur Blur!!

What is Analogy?

According to wikipedia, analogy is cognitive process of transferring information from a particular subject (the analogue or source) to another particular subject (the target), and a linguistic expression corresponding to such a process. In a narrower sense, analogy is an inference or an argument from one particular to another particular, as opposed to deduction, induction, and abduction, where at least one of the premises or the conclusion is general. The word analogy can also refer to the relation between the source and the target themselves, which is often, though not necessarily, a similarity, as in the biological notion of analogy.

There're two categories of analogies, logical analogies and affective analogies. Also, analogy can be divided to two types:
- metaphor
- simile


What is oxymoron?
In lecture notes, oxymoron is an expression with contradictory words.
Based on wikipedia.com, oxymoron is a figure of speech that combines normally contradictory items.
