magazine or journal issued regularly
A magazine or journal that is printed or put online every week, month, or other regular time.
用法パターン：
a periodical on [topic]; an issue of the periodical
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes think 'periodical' means 'from time to time' or 'occasional' when used as a noun. As a noun, it almost always means a magazine or journal that comes out regularly. Learners may also incorrectly say *'a science periodical magazine'*; 'periodical' alone already means a magazine or journal, so usually you say 'a science periodical' or 'a science magazine', not both together.

よくある間違い：
Learners often confuse 'periodical' with 'periodic' and 'regular'. In most modern English, 'periodic' or 'regular' is more common, especially in science or everyday speech, while 'periodical' sounds slightly more formal or old-fashioned. Also, 'periodical' is not used to mean 'sometimes' or 'from time to time'; it implies a fixed or fairly regular pattern.
類義語
periodic (Very close in meaning; 'periodic' is slightly more common, especially in scientific and technical contexts.)
|
regular (More common and less formal; can mean frequent or routine in general, not always strictly at fixed intervals.)
対義語
continuous (Describes something that goes on without a break instead of happening at separate times.)
|
one-time (Describes something that happens only once instead of repeating at intervals.)
