Work on analogy has been done from a number of disciplinary perspectives throughout the history of Western thought. This work is a multidisciplinary guide to theorizing about analogy. It contains 1,406 references, primarily to journal articles and monographs, and primarily to English language material. Classical through to contemporary sources are included. The work is classified into eight different sections (with a number of subsections). A brief introduction to each section is provided. Keywords and key expressions of importance to research on analogy are discussed in the introductory material. Electronic resources for conducting research on analogy are listed as well.Résumé: Diverses perspectives disciplinaires à travers l'histoire de la pensée occidentale ont contribué à la recherche sur les analogies.

On y inclut des sources classiques et contemporaines, ainsi que des sources électroniques. Huit sections classifient ce matériel. Une brève introduction, dans laquelle on identifie des mots clefs importants pour faciliter la recherche, précède chaque section.
Abstract:In recent discussions concerning the definition of argument, it has been maintained that the word 'argument' exhibits the process-product ambiguity, or an act/object ambiguity. Drawing on literature on lexical ambiguity we argue that 'argument' is not ambiguous. The term 'argument' refers to an object, not to a speech act. We also examine some of the important implications of our argument by considering the question: what sort of abstract objects are arguments?Résumé: On a avancé dans des discussions récentes que le mot «argument» est ambigu : il signifie soit un procédé ou un produit, ou soit n acte ou un object. Nous puisons dans des publications sur l'ambiguïté lexique pour soutenir que «argument» n'est pas ambigu. Ce terme se réfère à un object et non pas à un acte de langage. Nous examinons aussi quelques implications de nos arguments sur la question: Un argument est quelle sorte d'object abstrait?
