Analogy Reasoning To Explore

Metaphor is a rhetorical devices and an expression which is widely applied in literary works and daily communications with a long history. Metaphor is usually used to discribing an issue vividly.The researches about the linguistic structure and compositions of metaphor as a rhetorical devices are thorough. But the comprehension and cognition of liken sentences is a vibrant thinking process,thus reasoning plays an important role on the composing and comprehension of liken sentences.Even the most simple liken sentences are more than they seem like,as they all contain a complet reasoning.The inner logic structure and problems involving the logic reasoning still puzzle a lot of researchers.The relationship between metaphor and"METAPHOR",which is a problem that existed theoretically for a long time,must be solved before exploring metaphor and its reasoning forms. This paper focus on metaphor reasoning,and the definition of metaphor follows the tradational traditional domestic perspective,including simile and metaphor.This paper has three clues to elaboraten metaphor reasoning.Firstly,discussion of metaphors used as the arguments when metaphors are applied in argumentative writing.using a simile or metaphor to demonstrate is widely used in argumentative writing.But researches about the metaphor reasoning process in the demostration is quite few.This paper illustrates that metaphor resoning is quite a unique kind of reasoning and summarizes the function of metaphor in a demostration by many examples about the application of metaphor in demostration.Besides,metaphor reasonings often appear in order to strengthen the reliability and vitality.Secondly, rhetoric divides the structure and composition of metaphor from the perspective of language application.But fromthe deeper structure of metaphor,the noumenon ,similarity, metaphor object(s) which constitute liken sentences could loss in language.The completion reasoning of the lossing metaphor semantic elements is the first step to understand metaphors.Thirdly,metaphor pragmatic reasoning which completes a semantic loss in a given context is necessary when the completion reasoning of the lossing metaphor semantic elements can not be achieved inside a sentence in order to enhance the comprehension of liken sentences.Metaphor pragmatic reasoning is usually essential to make verbal-communicated behavior effective of successful. Metaphor pragmatic reasoning to some extend developes the cooperation principles and criterions proposed by Gless.
