The correlation between A and B and C? #1 (permalink) Sun Aug 30, 2009 9:20 am   The correlation between A and B and C?
 

Hi all,

It's ok to use the phrase “The correlation between A and B”, right?
But what if I want to demonstrate the relation between A, B and C which likes “A+B=>C” or “A=>B+C”?

What’s more, all these A, B and C could be in clause form. I think it would be kind of dizzy if some one sees so many “and” in one sentence.

Any help would be appreciated~

Someone just told that I can't add a clause in the "between... and..."
Is it right?

A+B=>C -- A and B correlate with C; the correlation of A and B (A plus B) with C
A=>B+C” -- A correlates with B and C; the correlation of A with B and C (B plus C)

Yes, I cannot seem to compose a finite clause in the space between 'between' and 'and'.

Tks,
So can I use a finite clase in "The correlation of A with B and C"?

If I understand your intention, that would be a nonfinite clause:

The correlation of high salt intake and certain genes with the phenomena that most people living in Chicago have heart disease is not as perfect as the arguer assumes.
