....is much more likely. In this chapter, we define analogical reasoning, state its relevance to our research, and consider the advantages and potential problems of its use. 2.2 Analogies and analogical reasoning 2.2. 1 Definitions and descriptions There is wide variation in definitions of analogy [Indurkhya, 89] Indeed, Treagust et al., 92] point out that there are many definitions of analogy. Webb, 85] says that there is much confusion over an agreed definition of analogy, and [Goswami, 91] argues that analogy is a notoriously difficult term to define. This confusion arises mainly because analogy ....

....Analogies can appear in different guises. Goswami, 92a] has pointed out that there are two main sorts of analogies, proportional analogies and story analogies . Proportional analogy exercises are common in intelligence tests such as [Masterson, 93] They take the form A is to B as C is to D [Indurkhya, 89; Richardson, 91: pages 32, 58] Verbal examples of this would be gills are to fish as lungs are to man or hot is to cold as happy is to sad , but visual analogies containing geometric shapes (geometric analogies) are also used. The aim of these visual exercises is to guess the value of D , ....

....occuring in the application domain of the project FABEL already mentioned before (cf. Hov93b] Hov93a] led to the idea to represent objects like supply air net structures as terms over some appropriately tailored signature. This approach has been influenced by Indurkhya s formalisms (cf. [Ind89], Ind91] Second, there were some attempts to extend the inductive inference results sketched above to text patterns. This inevitably requires to reflect the similarity of two or more objects simultaneously. Ohkawa and his co authors (cf. OMBT92] developed some deductive formalism for horn ....

....as they excited the author to investigate other approaches in more detail. Within the BMFT joint venture FABEL, Katy B orner has been particularly engaged for finding structural approaches to similarity. Her considerations have been guided by Bipin Indurkhya s work on analogical reasoning (cf. [Ind89], Ind91] Those investigations have contributed to the author s work presented. Part of this work has been supported by the German Ministry for Research and Technology (BMFT) within the joint venture FABEL, grant no. 413 4001 01 IW 104 C, and within the joint venture GOSLER, grant no. ....

....be related in a known way. Weitzenfeld describes analogical inference as a deductive process that assumes the premise of the determining structure. Consequently, the extra logical force of that inference comes from this assumed premise that cannot be deduced from a background theory. Indurkhya [69] analyzes metaphors and several modes of analogical reasoning: analogy by rendition, proportional analogy, and predictive analogy. In [68] he introduces the constraint semantic transference which restricts analogical inferences to those consistent with a given set of constraints (including the ....

....the source domain and must be re described to be like the source domain. Clearly the description module assumption cannot be made in modeling creative metaphor. O Hara (1992; forthcoming) has been developing a model of re description in the context of geometric proportional analogies inspired by Indurkhya (1989; 1991; 1992) The solution of geometric proportional analogies were also modeled by Evans (1968) Evans did not attempt to integrate the mapping and description building processes as we do here. The description module assumption appears in a slightly different guise in the selection of indices ....
