Placing things side by side for the purposes of comparison Comparison of things or ideas Authors often use juxtaposition of ideas or examples in order to make a point (For example, an author my juxtapose the average day of a typical American with that of someone in the third world in order to make a point of social commentary)
The juxtaposition of two contrasting objects, images, or ideas is the fact that they are placed together or described together, so that the differences between them are emphasized. This juxtaposition of brutal reality and lyrical beauty runs through Park's stories
A placing or being placed in nearness or contiguity, or side by side, often done in order to compare/contrast the two, to show similarities or differences
When you write two things next to one another, you juxtapose them Juxtaposition can be thought of as being similar to a binary operator For example, in mathematics it is common to indicate multiplication of two expressions by writing them next to one another So, in much of mathematics, juxtaposition stands for multiplication Juxtaposition has a precedence and associativity, just like operators For example, in mathematics, juxtaposition normally has higher precedence than addition but lower precedence than exponentiation In Astarte, juxtaposition does not stand for mulitiplication Instead, it stands for function application See E7
