This article appears in Volume V06, Page 943 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COM-COR
CONJUNCTION (from Lat. conjungere, to join together) , a
general
 
term
  signifying the act or state of being joined together. It is used technically in astronomy and
grammar
 . In astronomy," conjunction" is the nearest apparent approach of two heavenly bodies which seem to pass each other in their coursessaid to be in longitude, right
ascension
 , &c., when they have the same longitude, &c. A superior conjunction is one in which the lesser
body
  is beyond the greater, especially when a
planet
  is beyond the sun. An inferior conjunction is one in which a
planet
  is on our side of the sun. In
grammar
  the
term
  " conjunction is applied to one of the so-called " parts of speech, " viz. those words which are used to " join together " words, clauses or sentences. Con-junctions are variously classified according to their specific
function
 , e.g. adversative (" but," " though ") which contrast, illative (" therefore ") where the second sentence or clause is an inference from the first, temporal where a
time
 -relation is expressed, and so forth.
