BEUCHOT, Mauricio. On Analogic Pragmatics. Acta poét [online]. 2012, vol.33, n.1, pp.49-65. ISSN 2448-735X.

This article intends to settle the possibility of an analogical pragmatics, i.e. that takes account of the Aristotelian concept of analogy. Analogy is between univocity and aequivocity, being the first of them the ideal of the clear and distinct, perfectly rigorous and exact; in pragmatics it is the pretension of literal sense. Equivocity is the ambiguous and inexact; in pragmatics it is the total loose of literal sense. Contrary to this, analogy gives the sense of mediation, taking from univocity the tension to exactitude and from equivocity the openness, it profits their advantages, without falling in the vices of those extremes.

Keywords : pragmatics; analogy; literal sense; allegoric sense; hermeneutics.
