The attention of philosophers. linguists and literary theorists has
been converging on the diverse and intriguing phenomena of analogy
of meaning: the different though related meanings of the same word,
running from simple equivocation to paronymy, metaphor and
figurative language. So far, however, their attempts at explanation
have been piecemeal and inconclusive and no new and comprehensive
theory of analogy has emerged. This is what James Ross offers here.

feature of natural languages, with identifiable and law-like
characteristics which explain how the meanings of words in a
sentence are interdependent. Throughout he contrasts his with
classical and medieval views
