both

/bəʊθ

predeterminer, determiner, & pronoun

adverb

Used before the first of two alternatives to emphasize that the statement being made applies to each (the other alternative being introduced by ‘and’): the film has won favour with both young and old studies of zebra finches, both in the wild and in captivity...

The story is full both of the pain of such suffering and of pride in the martyrs for their faith.
These days enable both parents and children to get a feel of what a school might be like.
What needs to be emphasised is that it refers to both self poisoning and self injury.

Usage

When both is used in constructions with and, the structures following ‘both’ and ‘and’ should be symmetrical. Thus, studies of zebra finches, both in the wild and in captivity is better than, for example, studies of zebra finches, both in the wild and captivity. In the second example, the symmetry of ‘in the wild’ and ‘in captivity’ has been lost. Other examples: her article is detrimental both to understanding and to peace (not her article is detrimental to both understanding and to peace).
