TheLogical connectors They are words and / or expressions that serve to link the different ideas in a sentence, paragraph or text. For example: in addition, also, if good, but.
Logical connectors are used to give fluidity and clarity to a text, giving ideas a logical order. Without them, the texts would be just a set of independent and isolated sentences.
- See also: Types of connectors
Connector types
- Additives. They add a new idea to what has already been said, or increase its meaning with the new.
- Adversative. They oppose a new idea to what has already been said. They can be of three types:
- Causal. They express an idea of causality regarding what has been said.
- In a row. They express an idea of consequence regarding what has been said.
- Comparatives. They equate the new idea with the already said one.
- Manners. They express a specific way or a specific way of what is contained in the new idea.
- Sequential. They introduce a time relationship (sequence) between new and old ideas.
- Reformulatives. They take up what has already been said, they go back to it to say it in another way. They can be classified in turn into:
- Explanatory. They reformulate the above more clearly, for pedagogical purposes.
- Recapitulatives. They precede a summary or a synthesis of the above.
- Exemplary. They introduce a pertinent example to understand the previous ideas.
- Corrective. They correct the previous information, and may even contradict it.
- Computers. Fático, they prepare the listener for the ideas to come, alluding to the part of the total text to which they belong: beginning, middle, end, etc. They can be classified into:
- Initials. They serve as an introduction to the ideas expressed.
- Transitive. They allow you to move from one set of ideas to a different one.
- Digressives. They allow you to get away from the main flow of ideas and refer to things that are not strictly related.
- Temporary. They allude to the past, present or future time of the place where the discourse or the reality in which it is circumscribed is enunciated.
- Space. They lead the receiver metaphorically to various segments of what was said.
