Reanalysis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Reanalysis is a new analysis of something. It may refer to:

  • Reanalysis (linguistics) or folk etymology, change in a word or phrase resulting from the replacement of an unfamiliar form by a more familiar one
    • Rebracketing, a process where a word originally derived from one source is broken down into a different set of factors
    • Back-formation, a process of creating a new word by removing actual or supposed affixes
  • New statistical analysis of a data set that has already been analyzed
  • A repeat analysis, for example in chemistry
