different between adjunct vs ancillary

adjunct

English

Etymology

From Latin adiunctus, perfect passive participle of adiung? (join to), from ad + iung? (join). Doublet of adjoint.

  • Hyphenation: ad?junct

Noun

adjunct (plural adjuncts)

  1. An appendage; something attached to something else in a subordinate capacity.
  2. A person associated with another, usually in a subordinate position; a colleague.
    • 1641, Henry Wotton, A Parallel between Robert late Earl of Essex and George late Duke of Buckingham
      Lord Cottington (as an adjunct of singular experience and trust)
  3. (brewing) An unmalted grain or grain product that supplements the main mash ingredient.

  7. (syntax, X-bar theory) A constituent which is both the daughter and the sister of an X-bar.
    • We can see from (34) that Determiners are sisters of N-bar and daughters of
      N-double-bar; Adjuncts are both sisters and daughters of N-bar; and Comple-
      ments are sisters of N and daughters of N-bar. This means that Adjuncts re-
      semble Complements in that both are daughters of N-bar; but they differ from
      Complements in that Adjuncts are sisters of N-bar, whereas Complements are
      sisters of N. Likewise, it means that Adjuncts resemble Determiners in that
      both are sisters of N-bar, but they differ from Determiners in that Adjuncts
      are daughters of N-bar, whereas Determiners are daughters of N-double-bar.
  8. (rhetoric) Symploce.
  9. (category theory) One of a pair of morphisms which relate to each other through a pair of adjoint functors.
