analysis
| Means of communication that involves explanation. Analysis is particularly concerned with reasoning (why something happens, be it a scientific phenomena or human behaviour). |
| The language used to analyse scientifically must be precise and factual, whereas the language used to analyse poetry might be more subjective and personal. Analysis often requires a sophisticated level of language, which is capable of conveying abstract ideas and thought-processes. |
