Following an Argument Across Sentences
Connectors such as ωστόσο, συνεπώς and ως εκ τούτου show how a statement relates to the preceding argument.
How It Works
Connectors such as ωστόσο, συνεπώς and ως εκ τούτου show how a statement relates to the preceding argument.
They can signal contrast or a conclusion without changing verb inflection. A connector states the writer's proposed relationship; it does not prove that the inference is logically sound.
