analysis (countable anduncountable,pluralanalyses)

  1. (countable)Decomposition intocomponents in order tostudy (acomplexthing,concept,theory, etc.).
    comparativeanalysis
    • 2013 July-August,Philip J. Bushnell, “Solvents, Ethanol, Car Crashes & Tolerance”, inAmerican Scientist:
      Surprisingly, thisanalysis revealed that acute exposure to solvent vapors at concentrations below those associated with long-term effects appears to increase the risk of a fatal automobile accident. Furthermore, this increase in risk is comparable to the risk of death from leukemia after long-term exposure to benzene, another solvent, which has the well-known property of causing this type of cancer.
    • 2023 March 8, Gareth Dennis, “The Reshaping of things to come...”, inRAIL, number978, page48:
      Beeching is more disparaging about suburban services beyond the capital, and I think here lies one of the most critical shortcomings in hisanalysis. By not considering the potential for these cities to grow, both on their own merits and in response to London's limitations, he failed to future-proof these types of service, limiting them in favour of long-distance services.
  2. (countable) The result of such a process.
    • 1988, Andrew Radford,Transformational grammar: a first course, Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, page214:
      Thus, in a sequence such as [French English teacher], sinceEnglish is closer to
      the Head Nounteacher, it must be a Complement; and sinceFrench is further
      away fromteacher, it must be an Attribute. Hence, we correctly predict that
      the only possible interpretation for [a French English teacher] is ‘a person who
      teaches English who is Frenchʼ. So ouranalysis not only has semantic plausi-
      bility; but in addition it has independent syntactic support.
  3. (uncountable, mathematics) A broad field of study in modern mathematics (often mentioned alongsidealgebra) which developed out of thecalculus, concerned with the behavior offunctions,sequences,series,limits,metric spaces,measures and more.
    Synonym:mathematical analysis
  4. (countable, logic) Proof bydeduction from known truths.
  5. (countable, analyticalchemistry, physical chemistry) Theprocess of breaking down asubstance into itsconstituent parts, or theresult of this process.
  6. (uncountable, music) The analytical study ofmelodies,harmonies,sequences,repetitions,variations,quotations,juxtapositions, andsurprises.
  7. (countable, psychology)Psychoanalysis.
    • 1981 February 14, Gary Ralph, “Shake 'N' Bake Sexology”, inGay Community News, volume 8, number29, page16:
      The "Homosexuals" chapter gets off to a brisk start with a declaration from a man identified as "Nick August" ― a "self-proclaimed homosexual" ― that "homosexuals are men who are so terrified of their sexual feelings for their mothers, that they have spent their whole lives proving they don't have any feelings at all for women." We are not surprised to learn, later on, that he is inanalysis; may I suggest that his analyst is avery old-fashioned one?
