Examples:

What is a difference between oxymoron and juxtaposition?
Both are contradictions. With an oxymoron, the contradiction is side by side within a sentence (The living dead); whereas with a juxtaposition, the contradiction does NOT occur next to each other within a sentence (the little wart was huge). Another way juxtaposition is described is "to contrast" two things, ideas, people, etc.
