According to wikipedia.. An oxymoron (plural oxymorons or oxymora) (from Greek ὀξύμωρον, "sharp dull") is a figure of speech that combines contradictory terms. yes . an oxymoron is the result of the chemical(atomic) reaction between two words that come up with a set of default meaning features (clichés) and that are inherently put on the table in an out-of-context fashion. Whether a feature is default or not depends on cultural parameters, and when it is, it is said to belong, to be encoded by a language, a lect, at several possible levels (dialect, sociolect, idiolect (one guy'specific language)). Consequently, whether a sequence is an oxymoron or not depends on the way you interpret it (through your own views or through someone else's). When your put two conflicting words in the same context, the cognitive dissonance that results has to be resolved. Some of the meaning features involved in the conflict have to be kicked out of the house : it happens when they are virtualized, when you reckon a feature is pertinent in the considered language but is not useful in the current context. The sequence "white crow" says that this is a crow and it's white, but it also says you should expect it to be black and this very idea participates in the constitution of another dissonance, at a higher level, that makes the text more interesting. Whatever. Military Intelligence I think we a have a polysemy case here (smart/bright/clever vs information gathering). Anyway, i think the fact that soldiers are violent jerks is a very common cliché. Online community. When you're online, you're alone with your computer. Free trade agreement. This is how i understand it : free trade is never free as it obeys the market's natural laws.
