Description:This new guide to the art of transition in the English language helps you to deploy a wide range of connnective words in order to improve the flow of your ideas.

Whether you are at school or university this compendium will provide you with an indispensable source book of words that will improve the flow of your ideas.The Art of Connection begins by exploring the social life of sentences. Although we learn to create sentences, what we really need to acquire are the skills of transition and connection. This book outlines the ways that connection and disconnection create thought-pathways in the process of composition. The educational psychology behind connection is also outlined. The Art of Connection then examines the relationship between natural flow and communicative improvisation. This dimension is contrasted with the conventions of rhetoric often used effectively in the past by great writers and speechmakers.Different styles of writing and target audience or reader are also discussed. The Art of Connection also explores links between connection, logic and philosophy. Moving beyond traditional approaches to connection and transition, postmodern and feminist approaches to the question of communication, technique and style are also analysed.Each chapter deals with the nine arts of Location, Timing, Comparison, Contrast and Difference, the Supplement, Disputation, Sequence, Example and Illustration, and the Summary. Hundreds of practical examples of usage, drawn from the humanities and the sciences, from religion and the social sciences, from law, business and medicine are used illustrate each of the key topics.
