• Analogy — A total or partial resemblance, structural correspondence, or proportional ratio established between two or more objects, phenomena, words, or concepts that are otherwise different in their essence. In logic, it represents a form of inductive reasoning by which it is deduced that if two elements resemble each other in certain respects, they will probably resemble each other in others. In linguistics, it denotes the process of creating or modifying grammatical forms under the influence of a dominant linguistic pattern.
• Analogism — A school of thought, doctrinal method, or theoretical tendency based on the systematic and exclusive use of analogy as the primary tool for knowing, explaining, and interpreting reality or language structures. In philosophy, it designates the type of reasoning that explains universal phenomena through strict proportional correlations and correspondences between microcosm and macrocosmos, while in ancient linguistics, it represented the doctrine asserting that language is governed by regular, proportional, and logical rules, in opposition to anomalism.
