LOGICAL CONNECTORS

COHERENCE:
Ideas arranged logically. The ideas and
sentences are in an order that makes sense
to the reader.
LOGICAL CONNECTORS

COHESION:
In order to read a paragraph easily, it must
have a smooth flow. Smooth flow means that
one sentence leads easily into the next
sentences.

LOGICAL CONNECTORS:

There are lexical expressions that serve to

specify the relationships among sentences in
discourse. These lexical expressions are
often called logical connectors, and they
chiefly include:

a)Coordinating conjunctions
b)Conjunctive adverbs
c)Subordinating conjunctions
LOGICAL CONNECTORS

COORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS:
The coordinating conjunctions are FOR, AND, NOR,
BUT, OR, YET, SO (FANBOYS). These conjunctions
have the name coordinating, which means that
they connect structures that are the same (they
are equivalent or of the same rank).
CORRELATIVES are conjunctions with two parts.
The most common correlatives are the following:
neither… nor, not only… but also…, either … or,
both… and
LOGICAL CONNECTORS

CONJUNCTIVE ADVERBS:
Like the coordinating conjunctions, these adverbials
also join complete sentences (independent clauses)
and express a logical relationship between the
ideas in a sentence.
Conjunctive adverbials are frequently classified
according to broad discourse-functional criteria.
They are:
 Examples of Conjunctive adverbs

The conjunctive adverbs in the following examples are in

bold for easy identification.
1.Jeremy kept talking in class; therefore, he got in trouble.
2.She went into the store; however, she didn’t find
anything she wanted to buy.
3.I like you a lot; in fact, I think we should be best friends.
4.Your dog got into my yard; in addition, he dug up my
petunias.
5.You’re my friend; nonetheless, I feel like you’re taking
advantage of me.
6.My car payments are high; on the other hand, I really
enjoy driving such a nice vehicle
LOGICAL CONNECTORS

besides, also
Adversative: however, nevertheless, despite this, in
contrast, on the other hand, still, instead, on the
contrary
Causal: therefore, consequently, for that reason,
thus (general cause); then, in that case,
otherwise (cause conditional)
Sequential: then, next, first, second, last, finally, up
to now, to sum up
 LOGICAL CONNECTORS

 SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS:
subordinating conjunctions connect independent
clauses to dependent clauses. The subordinators
can be grouped according to the type of
relationship they express:
 LOGICAL CONNECTORS

Time: after, before, as soon as, as long as, when(ever),

since, until, while
Location (place): where, wherever
Manner: as, in that
Purpose: so that, in order that
Reason: since, because, as, now that
Result: so that
Concession: although, even though, though, while
Condition: if, even if, as long as, in case, provided that
