Analogy

The students must be able to
define analogy
analyze the relationship between words and
use an analogy,
determine appropriate words or expressions
to be supplied in analogy,
supply other words or expressions that
complete an analogy.
Let’s analyze the important points in the examples below.
An analogy is a comparison in which two
word pairs (4 words total) are paired
together through some type of
relationship or relating factor. It is a
statement of comparison between two
different ideas, things, or concepts.
o The term which means “relationship” is called an
ANALOGY.
o It is like a word puzzle.
o It always contains two pairs of words. It can be
abbreviated like stallion :mare :: man : woman
The single colon [:] represents the phrase “is to” and the
double colon [::] represents the word “as”.
o Thus, it reads, like a stallion is to mare as a man is to a
woman.
oAn analogy compares things with similar
features, often used to help explain
principles or ideas. The two things being
compared may be completely dissimilar
which still helps you understand something
about their relationship.

 Night is to day as happy is to sad = antonyms
 Husband is to spouse as baby is to infant = synonyms
 Thirst is to drink as study is to good grades = cause and effect
