Abstract
A theory of analogy must describe how the meaning of on analogy is derived from the meonings of its parts. In the structure-mapplng theory, the interpretation rules ore characterized OS implicit rules for mapping knowledge about a base domain into a torget domain. Two important features of the theory are (a) the rules depend only on syntactic properties of the knowledge representation, and not on the specific content of the domoins; ond (b) the theoretical fromework allows analogies to be distinguished o ond (b) The particular relations mapped ore determined by systemaficity. OS defined by the existence of higher-order relations.
