“Connectors, or conjunctives (Halliday &
Hasan, 1976), are a type of cohesion device
that make explicit the logical relations
between sentences (cause, addition,
comparison, condition, etc.). Common
connectors include and, but, however, and
because. Such connectors are of limited
utility, however, unless the reader
understands how connectors function and
the logical relationship each specifies.”
