different between analysis vs mapwork

English

Etymology

From Medieval Latin analysis, from Ancient Greek ???????? (análusis), from ?????? (analú?, “I unravel, investigate”), from ???- (ana-, “thoroughly”) + ??? (lú?, “I loosen”).

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /??næl?s?s/, /??næl?s?s/
• Hyphenation: anal?y?sis

Noun

analysis (countable and uncountable, plural analyses)

1. (countable) Decomposition into components in order to study (a complex thing, concept, theory etc.).
2. (countable) The result of such a process.

   • Thus, in a sequence such as [French English teacher], since English is closer to
     the Head Noun teacher, it must be a Complement; and since French is further
     away from teacher, 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 French?. So our analysis not only has semantic plausi-
     bility; but in addition it has independent syntactic support.

3. (uncountable, mathematics) The mathematical study of functions, sequences, series, limits, derivatives and integrals.
