Word: subjunction Part of Speech: noun Etymology: See subjunctive. 1. Act of subjoining, or state of being subjoined. Example: In the latter member of the sentence, he speaks hypothetically of the existence of that, which it is his business to disprove; for he does not decidedly reject the doctrine of subjunction in potential clauses; but merely contends, that, if there be subjunction, it is not so evidently marked, as in optative sentences. Example: However this is not necessarily so, in that subjunction of the absolutive phrase (advice) can take place on the first cycle; i.e. it can be subjoined initially to the lower verb (on which it is dependent). 2. Something subjoined. Example: The presence of the preposition as a marker for the object of exclude is interpreted in the usual way — the scope of the subjunction is VP only, excluding the direct object node. Example: The topic last mentioned will be taken up below, but as for Danish pronunciation it does not support intentions on the part of the speaker to keep the subjunction in use. 3. An implication or entailment; A proposition that links two states such that one is a logical consequence of the other. Example: The primary form of subjunction is 'If P, then Q', which tells us that '{P and nonQ} is logically impossible'. Example: In the case of subjunction, the reading of →as 'if ... then' is actually strongly misleading. 4. A junction that is below or subordinate to the main junction. Example: The coaxial cable joins the leads from three other transducers at a subjunction box, and all four leads are fed through one hose to a main junction box ( Figure 11 ) at each lead on each platform leg. Example: However, it is to be underlined first that the anatomicohistological junctions between the common trunk and the bifurcation, and between the bifurcation and bundle branches are not well delimited, and second that in many cases there is longitudinal partition of tissue destined to become each of the two bundle branches in the background of the common trunk, much above the actual bifurcation (the dualism of the AV pathway sometimes also including the node); therefore the position of the junction–subjunction is uncertain [227, 236, 241, 245].
Word: subjunction Part of Speech: adj Etymology: See subjunctive. 1. Below a junction Labels: not-comparable Example: In this case the degree of diffuseness of the interface of the M-InP junction and violation of stoichiometry of the InP subjunction region is diminished in the series Ag, Au, Cu, Ni, Al and is in direct correspondence with structural perfection of the starting surface of InP, the heat of interaction at the interface and the heat of the oxide formation by the contacting metal. Example: The original USAF Tower structure was an open air stairway design with an enclosed equipment maintenance area at the junction level below the cab and a small general purpose area at the subjunction level.
