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

  3. LOGICALCONNECTORS • 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.

  4. LOGICALCONNECTORS • 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: • Coordinating conjunctions • Conjunctive adverbs • Subordinating conjunctions

  5. LOGICALCONNECTORS • 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

  6. LOGICALCONNECTORS • 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:

  7. LOGICALCONNECTORS • Additive: in addition, moreover, furthermore, 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

  8. LOGICALCONNECTORS • SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS: • subordinating conjunctions connect independent clauses to dependent clauses. The subordinators can be grouped according to the type of relationship they express:

  9. LOGICALCONNECTORS • 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
