Types of Analogies: Part B (or maybe you prefer these)

Type of Analogy Similarity / Contrast (The relationships are between synonyms or antonyms or words that are nearly the same in meaning) Descriptive (Predication) (One term describes something about the other term) Examples Happy : Glad :: Dull : Blunt Wet : Dry :: Stop : Go Dearth : Shortage :: Plethora : Excess Square Deal: TR :: New Deal : FDR Tachometer : Thermometer :: Speed : Temperature Dog : Bark :: Cat : Meow San : Francisco :: Los : Angeles Keeping It : Real :: Bring It : On Fiddler : Praying :: Crab : Mantis Trout : Fish :: Amphibian : Frog Eskimo-Terror : Dog :: T-Rex : Dinosaur Mr. Jensen : Teacher :: Mr. Warrick : Principal Lettuce : Cabbage :: Pear : Peach Camry : Accord :: Harley-Davidson : Kawasaki T-Rex : Brontosaur :: Capt.

Completion (Each term of this kind of analogy is part of a complete expression) Subordination (Classification) (Relationships are those in which an object A is a type of B) Coordination (Classification) (The first two terms are one type of thing and the last two are another) Superordination (Classification) (Relationships are those in which A is a category into which B falls) Part Whole (Relationships are those in which A is part of B)

Whole Part (Relationships are those in which B is part of A)

Sound Relationships (Nonsemantic) (Two words are related because they sound similar is some way: this has nothing to do with the meanings of the words) Letter Relationships (Nonsemantic) (The letters of one term are transformed to form the letters of another term) Word Relationships (Nonsemantic) (These usually express grammatical relationships between words)
