Change of place, also known as TRANSPOSITION, is the act of moving something from one place to another. It can refer to physical objects, such as furniture, or to abstract concepts, such as words in a sentence. TRANSPOSITION is often used in mathematics and music to rearrange elements in order to create a new pattern or structure. In literature, it is used to create a different meaning or effect. In everyday life, it is used to change the order of events or to move something from one location to another.
