both —— and ——
a. both —— and ——.In constructions where both precedes coordinated elements which are nouns or noun phrases (e.g. ‘both her mother and her father came to visit’), both could be regarded as a determiner modifying the two noun phrases (cf. sense C. 1); however, in constructions where the correlated elements are not noun phrases (e.g. ‘both just and kind’, ‘both by day and by night’), both is more clearly adverbial.As both..and corresponds to Latin et..et, both in this sense has traditionally often been classed as a conjunction.
(a) With two coordinated words, phrases, or clauses, emphasizing the inclusion of both (and not only one) of the elements specified: not only —— but —— .In earlier use sometimes preceded by a genitive.From the 19th century onwards, many usage guides have recommended that the clauses which follow both and and should mirror one another structurally (as they do, for example, in quots. 1611 and 1914). However, instances where they do not have been common in standard English from the Middle English period onwards (see, for example, quots. c1405, 1782).
