Conclusion on Chapter II
In chapter two, I decided to show the significant features of sentence connection and their types.In linguistics, a sentence is a grammatical unit of one or more words, bearing minimal syntactic relation to the words that precede or follow it, often preceded and followed in speech by pauses, having one of a small number of characteristic intonation patterns, and typically expressing an independent statement, question, request, command, etc. Sentences are generally characterized in most languages by the presence .


Conclusion
In linguistics, a sentence function refers to a speaker's purpose in uttering a specific sentence, phrase, or clause. Whether a listener is present or not is sometimes irrelevant. It answers the question: "Why has this been said?" The four basic sentence forms (or "structures") in English are the declarative, interrogative, exclamative, and the imperative. These correspond to the discourse functions statement, question, exclamation, and command respectively. The different forms involve different combinations in word order, the addition of certain auxiliaries or particles, or other times by providing a special form. There is no clear one-to-one correspondence between the forms/structures and their discourse functions. For example, a declarative form can be used to ask a question, and interrogative form can be used to make a statement.These types of sentences are more intended for the speaker's sake than for any potential listener. They are meant more for the speaker's immediate wants and needs. These sentences tend to be less intentional (out of frustration for example), in general more literal, more primitive, and are usually about the here and now. Because of these features, it is generally speculated that this is pretty much the basis or limitation of any form of animal communication. (Speculated because scientists will never truly be able to understand non-human forms of communication like we do our own; although studies with "talking" primates have clued us in to a certain degree.)
An imperative sentence gives anything from a command or order, to a request, direction, or instruction. Imperative sentences are more intentional than exclamatory sentences and do require an audience;[note 1] as their aim is to get the person(s) being addressed either to do or to not do something. And although this function usually deals with the immediate temporal vicinity, its scope can be extended, i.e. you can order somebody to move out as soon as you find yourself a job. The negative imperative can also be called the prohibitive and the inclusive plural imperative, the hortative. It is debatable whether the imperative is only truly possible in the second person. The vocative case of nouns can be said to indicate the imperative as well since it does not seek information, but rather a reaction from the one being addressed. An imperative can end in either a period or an exclamation point depending on delivery.A declarative statement is not synonymous with an affirmative one, nor need it be true. Declaratives may be phrased positively or negatively (assert or negate), affirm or refute a proposition (support or undermine), be honest or dishonest (speak frankly or deceive), or may be true or false (inform accurately or misinform). All qualify as declarative sentences. Declarative refers to a sentence's function or purpose, while affirmative, positive and true deal with a sentence's topicality, grammatical polarity, and veracity, which is why the different terms can overlap simultaneously.Though not as erroneous as the above misnomer, there is a clouding that can occur between the slight distinction of the affirmative, and the positive. Although it semantically speaking comes natural that positive is the opposite of negative, and therefore should be completely synonymous with affirmative, grammatically speaking, once again they tend to be separate entities; depending on specificity. Positive in linguistic terms refers to the degree of the quality of an adjective or adverb, while affirmative refers to the perceived validity of the entire sentence.Sentence Connectors are a great way of improving your English. Why? Because we use them to express relationships between ideas and to combine sentences.When we begin learning a language, we speak in very basic sentences, a bit like children.
Example: “London is a very exciting city. London is very expensive.”
As we learn more words and more complex sentence strucure, we are able to start using sentence connectors to make more sophisticated sentences.
Example: “London is a very exciting city; nevertheless it is also very expensive” or
“Despite the fact that London is very expensive, it is also very exciting”
There are various types of connectors. We can divide them into:
Coordinating Conjunctions – They connect words, phrases and clauses. They are usually found in the middle of a sentence with a comma (,) just before the conjuction, or at the beginning of the sentence. Subordinating Conjunctions- They connect a dependent clause and an independent clause and establish a relationship between them. They happen at the beginning of a sentences (with a comma in the middle separating the clauses) or in the middle of a sentence with no comma.
Subordinating Conjunctions:
after if | though | although | if only | till | as | in order that
unless | as if | now that | until | as long as | once | when | as though
rather than | whenever | because | since | where | before | so that | whereas
even if | than | wherever | even though | that | that | while

Linking Adverbs and Transition Words- They connect two independent clauses or sentences. They provide transition between ideas.

Transitions and connectors show relationships between ideas and help guide the reader from point to point within the ideas in essays. In this sense, transitions and connectors are much like road signs along the road that help guide the traveler from point to point on strange highways. In both instances, whether navigating the ideas in an essay or driving to an unknown destination, the reader and traveler will both appreciate the guidance that that transitions and connectors and road signs provide.
