English term or phrase:Maize and Corn
como posso diferenciar maize e corn em um texto onde os dois termos aparecem? Qual a maneira mais correta?
In the case of maize the strength of the relationships clearly increases with time.
In the case of corn the strength of the relationship decreases after 2005.
Explanation: What is the difference between corn and maize?
The two words have completely different origins, but they refer to the same plant.
The root of "corn" comes from the Germanic 'Korn' which means a cereal grain. It can be any grain, but English speakers refer it to the corn plant as we know.
The root of "maize" comes from the Tahin people who lived near San Salvador, where Columbus landed. The island was populated by Tahino people, in whose language the name for their staple crop was "mahis." The name meant "source of life."

According to Oxford, in the UK, maize = milho and corn = "the chief cereal crop of a district" 'especially corn (in England) and oats (in Scotland). So if the text if from Scotland, it might be aveia.
Good luck!
No, it is not. They are talking about biofuels. I was just wondering if they are the same thing. They seem to be different in the text. Corn would be food, whereas maize could be used as animal feed or biofuel. According to Cambridge dictionaries, they are the same, the difference is that maize is used in the UK and corn is used in the US. http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=48215&dict=CA...
The sentences above are right below each other, so it seems that the writer wanted to show that there is a difference.
