False. The statement appears to contain a misunderstanding of musical terms. The correct terminology used to describe types of motion within music is "conjunct" and "disjunct."

What does the statement mean

Conjunct Motion: This refers to melodic motion that moves by small intervals, often stepwise, creating a smooth and connected musical line.

Disjunct Motion: This describes melodic motion that involves larger intervals, leaps, or skips between successive notes, creating a more disjointed or disconnected melodic line.

"Junction" is not a recognized term within music theory to describe a type of motion. The term "disjunct" is the appropriate counterpart to "conjunct" when discussing types of motion in music.
