Correlative conjunctions: paired conjunction (such as not only… but also.) that links balanced words, phrases and clauses.
EXAMPLE: "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."(Benjamin Franklin) Conjunctive adverbs: an adverb that indicates the

coordinating conjunction or correlative conjunctions.
