Summary/Abstract: The semantic and structural analysis of certain phrases, including verbs of movement, implies a set of methods of research that are necessary for distinguishing relevant issues. The comparative method is most often used together with the analogical one, which, according to Dumitru Zaiţ, determines the semantics of different phenomena, according to the similarity based approach. Thus, analogy has shaped language regularity. Later on, analogy has been used to explain linguistic change and has been opposed to the norm. Analogy as a working method in the field of science has also a heuristic function, a discovery function, in other words, which can help identify similarities or differences between phenomena specific to two or more languages.
