In linguistics, a binomial pair or binomial is a sequence of two or more words or phrases belonging to the same grammatical category, having some semantic relationship and joined by some syntactic device such as ''and'' or ''or''. Examples in English include ''through and through'', ''(without) let or hindrance'', and ''chalk and cheese''. Several legal terms are binomial pairs, often (but not necessarily) consisting of one Germanic word and one Romance word, such as ''(last) will and testament'' or ''cease and desist''. Binomials are often irreversible; that is, they occur only in one order. For example, one says ''bow and arrow'' but not '' *arrow and bow''; one says ''here and there'' and ''that's neither here nor there'', but not '' *there and here'' or '' *that's neither there nor here''. ==See also== *Legal doublet *Siamese twins (English language) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Binomial pair」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
