Encyclopedia Britannica



ALTERNATION (from Lat. alternare, to do by turns)

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 764 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ALM-ANC
ALTERNATION (from Lat. alternare, to do by turns) , strictly, the
process
  of " alternating," i.e. of two things following one another regularly by turns, as night alternates with day. A somewhat different sense is attached to some usages of the derivatives. Thus, in
American
  political representative bodies and in the
case
  of
company
  directors, a substitute is sometimes called an " alternate." An " alternative " is that which is offered as a choice of two things, the
acceptance
  of the one implying the rejection of the other. It is incorrect to speak of more than two alternatives, though Mr
Gladstone
  wrote in 1857 of a
fourth
  (Oxf. Essays, 26). When there is only one course open there is said to be no alternative.
