Additive Transitions:

These show addition, introduction, similarity to other ideas, &c.

Addition:

indeed, further, as well (as this), either (neither), not only (this) but
also (that) as well,
also, moreover, what is more, as a matter of fact, in all honesty,
and, furthermore, in addition (to this), besides (this), to tell the truth,

or, in fact, actually, to say nothing of,

too, let alone, much less additionally,
nor, alternatively, on the other hand, not to mention (this),

Introduction:

such as, as, particularly, including, as an illustration,

for example, like, in particular, for one thing, to illustrate
for instance, especially, notably, by way of example,

Reference:

speaking about (this), considering (this), regarding (this), with regards to (this),
as for (this), concerning (this), the fact that on the subject of (this)

Similarity:

similarly, in the same way, by the same token, in a like manner,

equally likewise,

Identification:

that is (to say), namely, specifically, thus,

Clarification:

that is (to say), I mean, (to) put (it) another way in other words,

Adversative Transitions:
These transitions are used to signal conflict, contradiction concession, dismissal, &c.

Conflict:

but, by way of contrast, while, on the other hand,

however, (and) yet, whereas, though (final position),
in contrast, when in fact, conversely, still
Emphasis:

even more, above all, indeed, more importantly, besides

Concession:

but even so, nevertheless, even though, on the other hand, admittedly,
however, nonetheless, despite (this), notwithstanding (this), albeit
(and) still, although, in spite of (this), regardless (of this),
(and) yet, though, granted (this), be that as it may,

Dismissal:

either way, whichever happens, in either event, in any case, at any rate,
in either case, whatever happens, all the same, in any event,

Replacement:

(or) at least, (or) rather, instead

 Causal Transitions:
These transitions signal cause/effect and reason/result, etc. . .

Cause/Reason:

for the (simple) reason that, being that, for, in view of (the fact), inasmuch as,
because (of the fact), seeing that, as, owing to (the fact),
due to (the fact that), in that since, forasmuch as,

Condition:

on (the) condition (that), granted (that), if, provided that, in case,

in the event that, as/so long as, unless given that,
granting (that), providing that, even if, only if,

Effect/Result:

as a result (of this), consequently, hence, for this reason, thus,

because (of this), in consequence, so that, accordingly
as a consequence, so much (so) that, so, therefore,

Purpose:

for the purpose of, in the hope that, for fear that, so that,
with this intention, to the end that, in order to, lest
with this in mind, in order that, so as to, so,

Consequence:
 under those circumstances, then, in that case, if not,
that being the case, if so, otherwise

Sequential Transitions:
These transitions are used to signal a chronological or logical sequence.

Numerical:

in the (first, second, etc.) place, initially, to start with, first of all thirdly, (&c.)
to begin with, at first, for a start, secondly,

Continuation:

subsequently, previously, eventually, next,

before (this), afterwards, after (this), then
Conclusion:

to conclude (with) as a final point, eventually, at last,

last but not least, in the end, finally, lastly,
Digression:

to change the topic incidentally, by the way,

Resumption:

to get back to the point, to resume anyhow, anyway, at any rate,

to return to the subject,
Summation:

as was previously stated, so, consequently, in summary, all in all,

as has been mentioned, thus, as I have said, to sum up, overall,
given these points, then, to summarize, to be brief, briefly,
as has been noted, in all, on the whole, therefore,
to put it briefly, hence, in conclusion, in a word,
in sum, altogether, in short,

Examples of Transitions:

Illustration
Thus, for example, for instance, namely, to illustrate, in other words, in particular, specifically, such
as.

Contrast
On the contrary, contrarily, notwithstanding, but, however, nevertheless, in spite of, in contrast, yet,
on one hand, on the other hand, rather, or, nor, conversely, at the same time, while this may be true.

Addition
And, in addition to, furthermore, moreover, besides, than, too, also, both-and, another, equally
important, first, second, etc., again, further, last, finally, not only-but also, as well as, in the second
place, next, likewise, similarly, in fact, as a result, consequently, in the same way, for example, for
instance, however, thus, therefore, otherwise.

Time
After, afterward, before, then, once, next, last, at last, at length, first, second, etc., at first, formerly,
rarely, usually, another, finally, soon, meanwhile, at the same time, for a minute, hour, day, etc.,
during the morning, day, week, etc., most important, later, ordinarily, to begin with, afterwards,
generally, in order to, subsequently, previously, in the meantime, immediately, eventually,
concurrently, simultaneously.

Space
At the left, at the right, in the center, on the side, along the edge, on top, below, beneath, under,
around, above, over, straight ahead, at the top, at the bottom, surrounding, opposite, at the rear, at
the front, in front of, beside, behind, next to, nearby, in the distance, beyond, in the forefront, in the
foreground, within sight, out of sight, across, under, nearer, adjacent, in the background.

Concession
Although, at any rate, at least, still, thought, even though, granted that, while it may be true, in spite
of, of course.

Similarity or Comparison
Similarly, likewise, in like fashion, in like manner, analogous to.

Emphasis
Above all, indeed, truly, of course, certainly, surely, in fact, really, in truth, again, besides, also,
furthermore, in addition.

Details
Specifically, especially, in particular, to explain, to list, to enumerate, in detail, namely, including.

Examples
For example, for instance, to illustrate, thus, in other words, as an illustration, in particular.

Consequence or Result
So that, with the result that, thus, consequently, hence, accordingly, for this reason, therefore, so,
because, since, due to, as a result, in other words, then.
Summary
Therefore, finally, consequently, thus, in short, in conclusion, in brief, as a result, accordingly.

Suggestion
For this purpose, to this end, with this in mind, with this purpose in mind, therefore.
