   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Financial, Acronyms, Idioms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

In chemistry, the determination of the composition of substances; see analytical chemistry.

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.
