Default Re: definitions
To start you off:

parenthesis = a word or phrase inserted as an explanation or afterthought, in writing usually marked off by brackets, dashes, or commas.

apposition = a relationship in which a word or phrase is placed next to another in order to qualify or explain it

"negative" - try searching again with the correct spelling.
