What's the difference between correlation and juxtaposition?

Correlation


Definition:

  • (n.) Reciprocal relation; corresponding similarity or parallelism of relation or law; capacity of being converted into, or of giving place to, one another, under certain conditions; as, the correlation of forces, or of zymotic diseases.

Juxtaposition


Definition:

  • (v. i.) A placing or being placed in nearness or contiguity, or side by side; as, a juxtaposition of words.

Example Sentences:
