Relating to an action that causes things to exchange places with each other: The two transpositional frames in the film were accidentally exchanged which resulted in that section of the movie looking as if the actor's head was suddenly moving forward instead of backward.

In the Wicked Bible, that was published as a version of the King James Bible in 1631, there was a transpositional "blank", or deletion, in place of the word "not". The result of this transpositional error resulted in the commandment saying "Thou shalt commit adultery" instead of "Thou shalt not commit adultery.
